the tradition of the Montecristi. Extremely lightweight, the hat is nicely dressed with a braided jute band and leather tie buckle. The sewn-in cloth sweatband makes for a really comfortable summer hat. You'll stay cool and look hot in
The Jamaican, another Grade 3
Panama hat from Scala. The style is more safari, with its somewhat tropical look finished with a contrast band and bow. A perennial favorite in our selection of
Panama hats is
The Lima. The multi-color satin band with bow set above the 2 1/2 inch snap brim gives this hat a little zest.
One of my own favorite hat styles happens to be the gambler, and Scala has done it up right with
The Big Brim Gambler. This
men's Panama hat provides shade to the tune of a 3 3/4 inch brim and it features a 12 ligne grosgrain band as well as the comfort of a grosgrain sweatband. The woven hat body is imported from Ecuador and then finished in the USA. I also swear by
pork pie hats, and hope you like
The Raffia Pork Pie from Scala as much as I do. It's the same matte raffia hat with stingy brim (of course) and striped ribbon band with raffia overlay that was seen in
Cigar Afficionado magazine.
Offered throughout the year,
men's dress hats from
Scala include felt hats like the
HY pork pie hat in wool felt and
The Capri, a satin-lined safari-shaped
fur felt fedora with a smooth suede finish. There's also the two tone
stingy brim hat in exceptionally soft, 100% micro wool felt that we designed and had made exclusively for us here at Hartford York. It's a fully lined hat that fits great. If you'd like the two tone
fedora in a solid color, we've done that too, and call it, simply,
The Stingy Brim. It's available in Black, Slate or Khaki, and it's another exclusive hat that can only be bought here at Hartford York.
There's another
stingy brim dress hat on offer here,
The Scala Sicily, that may well be the answer to your men's dress hat prayers. This center dent
fur felt has a skimpy two-inch brim--but, don't worry, it doesn't skimp anywhere else!
The Sicily has a grosgrain trim with double bow, feather accent, satin lining and trademarked
Scala lambskin sweatband for comfort (and showing off).
Making waves in fashionable headwear circles is the debonair
Venice, a snap brim
men's hat in European
fur felt, nicely trimmed with a double bow grosgrain ribbon. You'd think satin lining and suede finish would be enough, but Scala goes one more with a hold-on-to-your-hat hidden cord and button combo.
One of the things that's so nice about
Scala is that you don't have to break the bank to wear
dress hats like
Two Tone, a classy little
wool felt fedora with stingy brim and striped trim, or the satin-lined
Fedora, with 2 1/2 inch brim and 19-ligne grosgrain band trim with double bow and feather. In fact, you really can't afford
not to try that stylish fedora,
The New Yorker, one of Scala's
crushable hats known as "hats for men on the go" because they're so good for travel.
If you've never worn a felt
pork pie, the hat shape so much a part of jazz clubs and late-night swing joints, your chance has come with
The Jazz Wool Felt Pork Pie, a classic of the genre. Have you also been dying to try on a
top hat? No? It's being forced upon you? Oh well! At least we've got the perfect
Mad Hatter for you. It's a
traditional top hat in
wool felt with a two-inch bound brim and 24-ligne grosgrain band. Sorry, no rabbit.
Dress up your heads, men. It's Scala time.
