A stingy brim men's hat--whether it's the fabulous parasisal fedora in sea foam from Mr. Green, or the The Donovan Panama, a Mr. Green fedora in burnt straw with plaid trim and bound edge--I say, a stingy brim hat is just what the name implies. It's a men's topper with a stingy, narrow brim. Fedoras (as aforesaid) can have stingy brims, as can walking hats in richly textured linen, courtesy of Anthony Peto, and even dress trilby hats in fur felt. If there's no brim at all, however, you've been had.

You can get stingy brim hats in linen from JB Stetson, like the understated Geneva, an elegant trilby fully lined in cotton; and you can get them in velour fur felt and in beaver fur felt too. We also have herringbone hats with stingy brims and (to the delight of many) plaid stingy brim hats as well. Hats made in Italy like the mesh-lined Borsalino Lucia in washed black with a hint of loden can have stingy brims, and so can raffia hats, such as The Denzel (also from the Borsalino collection). In fact, this stingy brim has a sewn paglina braid brim with a woven raffia crown that snaps down (or stays up) depending on your preference. If this lid isn't the coolest hat of the season, then I don't know what is. Even wool felt hats from Stacy Adams, like the Dapper Dan in brilliant navy blue can have a stingy 1 1/2 inch brim, but you know this baby's generous in every other way.
Makins turns out stingy brim beauts like The Gordon Porkpie as does Goorin Cassel with a hat they trimmed with a pleated blue and brown vintage tie band and antique brass Cassel pin, and they called the hat The Hayes. Rod Keenan, the well known NYC hatter, issues The Bow Tie, a handsome trilby in your choice of Black or Oatmeal, with a nice high crown and stingy brim that turns down ever so slightly, in addition to The JFK Fedora, both hats exclusive to HartfordYork.com. Christys' and Scala do themselves proud in the realm of stingy brims: Christy's brings forth The Adriatic, a 100% wool rex from their Italian Collection. In addition to self trim and jacquard lining, you've got two great herringbones from which to choose--olive and charcoal. Scala struts their stuff with The Sicily fur felt center dent fedora and The Sorrento, a satin-lined stingy brim hat with suede finish. They finish with a flourish: a safari lambskin walking hat that just begs to be worn. It's called The Brad.
I wonder if I've made my point about the plethora of stingy brims in the world of men's hats. Is it clear to you? It's clear to Mr. Green. It's clear to me. Questions? Anyone?
