Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Some stunning hats for the recent cold snap. especially if you are in the North East like us! The Borsalino flat caps, 2 in super luxurious grey or blue herringbone cashmere & a version in a brown wool-mix fabric, all with an ingenious knitted fold down ear warmer part which tucks away nicely  if not needed. Secondly the Drakes ‘Hat Scarf’ in Navy/Red or Green/Beige merino wool. These can be worn as a hat or be pulled out & turned into a striped scarf. Inspired by the hats that wives would knit for their husbands to keep them warm during the 1st world war.

News – September 4th 2009 – Borsalino

Established in 1857, Borsalino is synonymous with style and elegance, & are considered by many as the finest hats in the world. They produce their own felt from the finest Belgian lapin fur at their factory in Alessandria, Italy. Their felt hats are still produced today just as they were a hundred years ago.
From them we have some ‘Legionnaire’ hats in 3 colorways, Camel, Charcoal & Navy, all with fold down ear flaps & a short bill, made from a wool, alpaca & mohair mix fabric which makes these hats warm light & very luxurious.
