Skip the education process altogether, if you wish, and go straight to the hats: there's
The Panama Special, a magnificent
Carlos Santana Panama hat made exclusively for Hartford York. It features a finely woven and vented body with bound edge, a just stingy two-inch brim and a pleated leather and grosgrain trim with pick stitching. As an exclusive, this hat is only available to order right here at HartfordYork.com.
We also carry a full range of spring/summer hats from
Borsalino, including
The Vented Montecristi, an exceptional and lightweight handwoven hat that required several hundred hours of hand work by a number of skilled of artisans before reaching us.
The Borsalino Panama w/fantasy Band is a
Panama fedora that showcases a natural colored grosgrain band with has a dark tinged edge.
The Panama Fino is yet another
Panama hat woven by hand from Borsalino. Gorgeous in natural, this snap brimmed Ecuadorian panama is blocked to perfection by the Italian masters, then finished to perfection. Similar to
The Fino,
The Panama Turndown has a turned down 2 1/2 inch brim and trimmed with a dark grosgrain band and bow featuring the Borsalino monogram.
Panama hat perfection is yours as well with
The Elegante, a woven bleached
safari hat from Christys' London. Designated a Grade 20, the hand weave is virtually seamless. Biltmore offers up some
Panama hats of excellent quality too. There's an absolutely superb pinch front Montecristi Panama that will turn heads as well as a top-of-the-line Panama pinch front fedora with a tapered brim and twelve linge ribbon band. If it's a
pork pie hat you'd like to see in Panama straw, Biltmore has a Montecristi pork pie hat with a very stingy brim sure to put a little jazz in your style.
From New York, Makins brings you
men's Panama hats including
The Actor's Studio, a two-tone stingy brim, and
The Lincoln Center, this one with a down turn brim and -- for the first time ever in a Makins hat -- it's lined.
The Carnegie is lined too. It's a Panama straw hat with a stingy brim, fancy three-pleat silk trim and cool grosgrain sweatband.
Then there's the
Tommy Bahama panama hats to consider. New this season, the designer brings a pinch front fedora called
The Punto Negro Panama, trimmed with ribbon and jute overlay. Another Panama hat courtesy of Tommy Bahama is a ventilated fedora. It's got a great trim with grosgrain ribbon and marlin pin plus the elasticized sweatband for wearer comfort.
