thing in common: they're wool felt hats.
The Let It Shine is from the Santana by Carlos Santana line of men's wool felt hats. Made in a durable wool blend, this hat has a 2 1/4 inch brim and a leather braid trim with Abraxas Angel pin. Obviously just talking about Santana makes me break out in rhyming prose. It may not look like it at first glance, but The Rock Circles is a wool felt hat too. This pork pie style Santana hat features an extremely narrow brim and the trim is placed higher up than usual in slim strips of leather, with the brim bound in matching leather.
One of my new favorites this season is called The Silver Dreams. Issued by Carlos Santana, this stingy brim fedora is made from extra fine wool felt and has a self trim that features zig zag contrast stitching and leather piping. It's a dream of a hat and it comes in Pearl. I'll admit to being partial to a Kangol wool felt hat too. This one, called The Crushable Pork Pie, is a hat you can pack and then shake back into shape. Great for travel, it's also water repellent and wears very well.
There's a Nat Nast line of wool felt hats this season, which hats are exclusive to Hartford York (and to you). The Two-Tone Trilby is especially nice. It's 100% wool felt, of course, and the hat features a 1 1/2 inch stingy brim with bound edge in one tone, with the hat crown in another tone. Look for the Nat Nast embroidered logo and signature stick pin. The Fancy Band is another Nat Nast trilby in wool felt. The stingy brim is bound and the trim is a grosgrain ribbon with feather.
Two perennial favorites in the men's wool felt hat category are from Scala. There's The Jazz, a pork pie hat with bound edge and double bow grosgrain ribbon trim. The brim is exactly stingy enough for a classic silhouette. The other hat is a fedora you may have heard of, called The New Yorker. This slightly edgy hat is perfect for the man on the go, and handsomely trimmed for the man of business (or pleasure). The reviews are in, and they're great!
