Another
toyo fedora from the Mr. Kim Collection by Eugenia Kim is called
The Curt. The unlined hat with a grosgrain sweat is handsome in Camel, and trimmed with a fine contrast band with bow and brass studs. Also worthy of very special mention is a
Panama hat from Eugenia Kim called
The Ernest. This is a natural Panama fedora which is trimmed with a distressed leather band and antique brass studs. The brim is stingy measuring a mere 1 3/4 inches and the hat is unlined.
With
The Camel Craig, a
stingy brim hat in toyo, it's the use of an ikat ribbon that really draws the eye. The unlined fedora has a very stingy 1 1/4 inch brim, so the profile is narrow, and the band features a vintage cat pin. In fact, the same multi color ikat cotton fabric is used in a
driver cap called
The Jimmy. This is a seven panel cap with a double snap front that's lined in cotton, and is certain to be a big hit this season. Other
driver caps in the Mr. Kim Collection include
The Olive Eddy in a muted plaid with a single snap on the brim (look for the cotton lining -- it's in coral);
The Khaki Jimmy, a seven panel
ivy cap in a great multi plaid; and
The Blue Jimmy which has the same seven panel
driver cap silhouette as
The Khaki Jimmy, with double snap front and cotton lining, but it's done up in a handsome navy cotton fabric.
If you're searching for a bucket hat, the nicest one I've ever found to date is courtesy of Eugenia Kim.
The Matt is a 100% cotton
bucket hat that features a great white and navy graphline plaid with navy linen piping. And, as with all the hats from Eugenia Kim, it's exclusive to Hartford York -- you can't buy it anywhere else -- and it's made in the U.S.A.
