Belfry Italia, Handmade For Belfry, Borsalino, Wigens, and Stetson.
This Fall & Winter, timeless craftsmanship meets modern refinement. Expect to see rich materials like Wool, Italian Cashmere, and Italian Leather paired with classic silhouettes - think structured fedoras, versatile caps, and cozy knits - each designed to bring warmth, texture, and sophistication to cold-weather style.
Hat trends for Spring & Summer include wide brim beach hats, linen caps, buckets and trilby hats, lightweight straws such as Raffia, Seagrass, Genuine Panama and Hemp, unsolid prints, and hand painted designs.
When choosing a hat style consider crown height and brim length. A classic fedora or safari brimmed hat are pretty standard. If you are looking for a smaller brim you may like the pork pie or trilby styles. Think about what style you will likely feel comfortable wearing and work with your wardrobe. If you want an easy to wear style a flat cap, newsboy, baseball cap, or bucket may do the trick.
Measure your head by using a flexible tape measure, or a string and ruler. Measure from the back of your head bringing the ends together at the center of your forehead right above your eyebrows. Use the hat size chart to determine your size, rounding to the nearest eighth of an inch as necessary.
