You'll recognize the names: Borsalino is well represented with The Ernesto Ivy Cap and and also by The Amadeo, a newsboy crafted from a blend of virgin wool and linen. Modern Stetson takes the originality cake with two ivy caps, The Privateer and the silk lined Catalina, as well as their plaid newsboy, The Westport. Wonderful Wigens makes a fashionable appearance too, and I'd be most remiss not to mention Scala's fine straw fedora and Bailey's sport caps.
Once you've got your head covered, it's time for a handful of natty crew neck cotton t-shirts from none other than Nat Nast. Perhaps grab a couple of short sleeve silk shirts too, like the shirt jacket Nat Nast nicely calls The Sidecar. You won't go wrong with a pair or two of men's white pants in a comfortable and good-looking blend of linen, cotton and silk, known by all and sundry as The Nat Nast Flat Front Trousers.
Dare to crank up the heat factor in Bahama this year. Have you tried The Garden of Hope & Courage Shirt? What a great tropical silk herringbone shirt! I admit to a real affection for the coconut shell buttons. And please--remember your shorts this year! Show a little (hairy) leg in some Nat Nast plaid shorts, or try on a pair of Tommy Bahama canvas shorts for those times you're roughing it, you know, poolside in your hammock.
Ladies, your appearances at ports of call along the Costa Maya will draw rave reviews whether you choose from the Borsalino Panama sun hats, The Francesca and The Isabella, or done the wide brim shade hat from John Callanan in raffia, known as The Town & Country. Scala will do you proud too with their colorful selection of western toyo hats, raffia sun visors and cotton canvas hats.
Don't leave home without your hat!
