Another new
Scala men's hat to the Spring/Summer 2012 collection is
The Raffia Gambler. It has a raffia braid body with a generous brim and elasticized sweatband for comfortable fit. The hat features a jute trim with a striking palm tree badge at one side. The natural fiber used in
The Matte Raffia Safari looks very different from the woven braid in
The Raffia Gambler. In the
fedora, the brim is somewhat narrower at 2 1/2 inches, and the trim is a band made from faux leather with a raffia overlay. You'll find Scala's patented elasticized sweatband in
The Matte Raffia Safari for added comfort and a sure fit. Also new this season is
The Burnt Raffia Outback with a broad brim measuring just over three inches and a leather chin cord to keep this
Scala hat nice and close.
There's certainly no better summer
sun hat than the crushable
Lifeguard, a hand-crocheted raffia hat with generous five inch brim. Made from 100% organic raffia, it's lightweight yet durable and can take packing as well as hard wear. Another big brim summertime hat is a
Panama hat called (what else?)
The Big Brim Gambler. Made from Grade 3 Panama straw, it's got a 3 3/4 inch brim, nicely trimmed with a 12 ligne grosgrain band.
I'll leave you to your
men's hat collecting, then. You, your head and your hat rack are in good hat hands with
Scala.
