Aaron Hats - Aaron’s Hat Blog

Since I still seem to be having a little bit of writers block I thought I’d simply link to something funny and hat related:

Aaron Hats has a hat for each of your personalities.

Last week we had some absolutely beautiful weather. It was sunny and 70 to 80 degrees. A lot of snow melted and I actually go to clean off our deck and put out some deck furniture. Now this week is rainy and cold. Mother Nature can be such a tease.

How is all this hat related? It’s not, other than the need to wear a rain hat. I hope your weather is better than ours is right now.

Peace,

Aaron

This just in!!! The new Tilley T4 with Insect Shield hat. If you’re like me, you get eaten alive by mosquitos and all kinds of other insects. So now you get all the great benefits of the world famous Tilley Hat but you also get insect repellent built into the hat. Here are some facts about Insect Shield:

Effective: Repels mosquitos, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges (no-see-ums).
Tested and Proven: Technology is the result of years of research and field study.
Convenient: Invisible, odorless protection just by putting on your clothes.
Comfortable: You can’t tell it’s there but the bugs can.
Durable: Lasts through 70 launderings.
Easy Care: Normal home laundering is recommended.

Get a hat on and be bug free!

Today’s class in on hat brims. Hat brims come in all different sizes and shapes. Here are a few definitions to get you started:

Stingy brim: A stingy brim is usually any hat with a brim of two inches or less though some will argue that a two inch brim is too wide to be considered “stingy”.

Snap brim: A snap brim “snaps”. When most fedoras are blocked by the hatter they are blocked so that the brim is turned up all the way around. The customer can then choose to wear the hat with the brim up or “snapped” down in front or on the side.

Dimensional brim: A dimensional brim is one that is not the same width all the way around the hat. Probably the most famous example of a dimensional brim is the Indiana Jones fedora. On this hat, the brim is narrower on the sides as compared to the front and back.

Pencil rolled brim: The pencil rolled brim is seen most in western hats. This is when the edge of the brim is curled up. I don’t know if the old time hatters actually used to use a pencil to roll the brim but the curl is generally the size of a pencil. People who do competitive “old west” style shooting call these hats “brass catchers” because when shooting their lever action rifles the ejected shell usually ends up on their hat with the pencil rolled brim keeping the brass shell from rolling off the hat.

What kind of brim do you prefer?

I’ve had such a block lately when it comes to writing this blog. We have all these cool hats that are showing up but the creative well is temporarily out of order. What to write…what to write…ARRRGH!

Maybe tomorrow.

The Tilley LTM5 is great for both men and women and very popular with golfers because the brim is enough to protect you from the sun but not big enough to interfere with your swing.

Re: Wool Newsboy Cap - Grey Herringbone

Joseph S. in Asheville, NC said:

Over the past several years I have travelled to Europe quite a bit, and have always been intrigued by the unique style of clothing available there, especially the hats. I bought a newsboy cap at Harrods in London and loved it for years. Unfortunately my labrador retriever loved it as much as I did and chewed it to pieces. I was upset with my dog, but even more so when I learned that Harrods no longer carried the style I had enjoyed for so long. I searched other London haberdasheries, but with no success. Then I discovered Aaron’s and made a purchase over the web. The service was incredibly fast and the product was EXACTLY as depicted in the on-line photos and described in the text. In a word, I am Aaron Hats biggest fan. I just wish everything was this easy. Thanks Aaron

I purchased this hat from Aaron’s Hats in North Conway for our annual trip to Bulgaria, and it did not leave my head once. Through record temps all last summer overseas, this Tilley did its job and then some. Brilliant hat, and highly recommended!
