leather with rabbit fur called
The Big Pine, and the price will warm your heart.
Woolrich also raises the men's hats bar with its
The Leather Pilot, a bombardier in lambskin leather with rabbit fur earflaps and warm-as-toast Woolrich lining. We call this model our
Top Gun of
men's winter hats, and you don't have to be a pilot to wear it! There's also a bombardier from Wigens to consider. Called
The Nylon Trooper, the outer shell of this
winter cap is made from 100% nylon in an attractive large check pattern in brown. It's got a polyester lining, rabbit fur trim and snug fit with a chin strap with buckle.
All of the
bombardier style and trooper hats (along with
The Aviator, a men's
leather aviator cap in distressed leather made to be worn flaps down, Snoopy style) sold here at HartfordYork.com are made for men who, while caught in a deep freeze, still enjoy looking their best. Shiver not in
The Klas from Wigens, one of the best bombers in the biz, made as it is from only the finest goat skin leather and long-haired French rabbit. This Swedish company also offers up
The Bjorn Trooper, a blemish-free shearling
bomber with sheepskin pile lining. Rest assured there are no compromises in this rugged and remarkable
winter hat.
The Canadians own winter too, and
Sam Saba (hailing from Montreal) first softens up the already supple Napa leather of his
classic trooper, called (what else?)
The Trooper, and then lines it with plush lambs wool (as with
The Captain, a traditional
men's winter hat that goes great with
The Saba B3 Bomber Jacket, Item No. B3), keeping the earlaps secure with leather ties.
Then there's mink! Need I say more? Of all their fur hats for men,
Leinburd/Crown Cap has never capped their
All Mink Trooper either in luxuriousness or in warmth (although many swear by the
Sheared Beaver Fur Trooper). The
Mink Trooper with Leather does rate a photo finish though: the crown is quality lambskin and your ears will worship you and your earflaps.
