What shape of hat should a man choose?
Before the 20th century, no man went out without a hat, and everyone had a head for hats ! Nothing has changed, but we are no longer used to it... So it's about finding the shape that feels good to you! The fedora shape is the classic shape of the Italian Borsalino style, with the brim turned down in front and raised in the back. The crown is mascoted, that is, with two hollows in front, like "pinched". The trilby shape is a similar shape, but with shorter brims! The pork pie is also a small hat, but with a rounder crown, very short and raised brims: it is often worn on the back of the head, it was the hat of jazz men! In general, the taller a person is, the larger the brim they can wear. So for tall men, opt for a fedora, for shorter ones, get a trilby! It is essential to feel good in your hat, so experimenting is important. And if you're not yet comfortable, perhaps try a cap, a beret, or a beanie ! For women, it's even easier, since they wear women's felt hats just as much as you do!
Felt hats that stand the test of time
Our felt hats are distinguished by their expertise and hat-making tradition, but we're counting on you to take care of them! These hats, made of wool or fur felt, can be worn in light rain, but are not made for storms. When they are wet, they should be left to dry flat, away from any heat source. Temperature differences are harmful to felt and can cause it to warp. Before winter returns, you can brush your hat in the direction of the hair with a soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Similarly, when you take your summer Panama hat out of the closet, take care of it, this time by spraying it with a spray bottle to moisten it a little! For fur felt, you can also waterproof it with a spray. The inner band, meanwhile, can be gently cleaned with a little water and Marseille soap!
