AUTUMN'S BEST HATS!!!

















This season provokes some of my favorite colors to mix and match to any wardrobe...... yes.. think AUTUMNS..... REDS, YELLOWS, ORANGES!!!!

Try SWANKY BOWLER with your red jeans and graphic t-shirt /black cardigan. Dress this "BEAUTY" for downtown play or uptown more buttoned up events!

FOX HUNT can also be dressed up or dressed down..... try this number on for size with a pair of jeans, converse sneakers, and a gingham print blouse..... OH... SO ....SEASON for TREND!!!

FLOPPY JOE with the signature creases and folds create more than one look with each turn of the brim.... Play with the hats and use your best facial features to dramatize your look.... High cheekbones, lips and chin lines.... get a lot of attention when you wear the brim closer to your forehead and the line of the hat falls in symmetry with your BEST ASSETS!!!!

NOW at LORD & TAYLOR and HENRI BENDEL in NYC!!!!

Civil War hat block


My friend, David over at REVOLUTION showed me a block he had...... he thinks it is a civil war block. The thoughts swirled in my head.... I can make retro civil war hats. AWESOME! Even if it isn't a civil war block it resembles the hats from that time. Inspiration comes in many forms! Here is a side view of the block!
