Men's hats and caps for the Spring/Summer 2012 season await your order and wearing pleasure! From fedoras by Eugenia Kim to newsboys by Anthony Peto, you're sure to be delighted with the selection of warm weather headwear. The big boys are back, of course, with new Borsalino and Stetson hats in every style plus caps by Wigens and Christys' London for casual fashion and fun. Panama hats are perfect for summer wear, and Makins will do you proud with stingy brim fedoras that really beat the heat.
There are more Panama hats courtesy of Tommy Bahama, that purveyor of island lifestyles, and from legendary guitarist Carlos Santana in addition to classic pieces from Borsalino (think The Vented Montecristi), Christys' London and Biltmore of Canada. The straw used in these top-of-the-line Panama hats is woven so fine, you'll swear you've gone and bought a linen hat. Naturally we have linen hats and caps too: The Mr. Kim series of ivy caps and stingy brim fedoras is new this season; and there are Robert Graham hats and caps in linen that are truly impressive (in addition to his line of men's shirts and other apparel).
Speaking of men's shirts, check out what Nat Nast has been up to. Using materials from silk twill to cotton and designs that bring back the glory days of baseball and the legends of jazz, choosing your new summer favorite might be a pretty tall order. And you've got some pretty tough competition from none other than the king of men's apparel, Robert Graham, who has The Haze on tap, a vividly-hued long sleeve shirt with contrast cuffs, and The Rattler, a solid jacquard sport shirt with tonal embroidery. Tommy Bahama has fun with a short sleeve silk shirt called Lucky Shores, and even Carlos Santana plays with his contribution: a limited edition short sleeve silk twill shirt, exclusive to Hartford York, called The Spirit of Passion.
If exclusivity floats your hat rack, don't miss our Exclusive section where you'll find a toyo fedora from the aforementioned Eugenia Kim Mr. Kim collection as well as Borsalino's hat of the season, a stingy brim called The Mazzini, in a cool, open weave Abaca braid. Another Santana product has made the page in addition to the Passion shirt -- it's a Panama hat crafted in Mexico, exclusively for Hartford York, and it's called The Santana Panama Special.
Old favorites are always in stock too. If your Greek Fisherman needs replacing or you find you're a little short in your Scala collection of gamblers, safaris and western hats, there's no time like the present to place that order. There's always something about a Stetson hat, and the Milan braid Stratoliner is a new take on one made famous decades ago. On the other hand, there's simply nothing that can top the proverbial Open Road, and it's even made right here in the USA.
Whatever your style choice -- from straw dress hats to pork pie hats -- you'll find a wide selection of the best hats and caps on the market made by the world's top designers here at Hartford York.
