If you watched the half-time show during the Superbowl and like the fedora Pete Townsend of The Who was wearing well here it is…the Bailey Billy.

I can’t believe it’s been nearly four months since I last wrote on this blog. So just to catch up…happy thanksgiving, merry Christmas and happy new year!

So what’s really been happening these last few months? Things have been quite hectic to say the least. We had a decent foliage and Christmas shopping season with a few changes to our hat brands that we carry. We brought back Barmah hats made of genuine kangaroo leather and made in the USA Capas hats. We’ve also expanded our selection of ladies Betmar hats and dropped some other poor performers.

Despite the fact that it’s the end of January we’re preparing for all the great spring and summer hats by your favorite brands like Kangol, Bailey and Tilley.

I’ll be trying to write here once a week so be sure to come back and visit plus you can find us on Facebook and Twitter where we post more regularly.

Cheers and happy hatting.

Now through Sunday, Oct.4, 2009 all Henschel Hats are on sale for 15% off. Henschel Hats has historically made leather hats and leather caps but in the last couple years they’ve branched out into UV protective sun hats made of Solarweave fabric, men’s walking hats in a variety of fabrics, felt cowboy hats and even cashmere, wool and cotton ivy and newsboy caps. Here are a couple examples of the great men’s hats made by Henschel today:

The company that hosts our web site, GetaHatOn.com, has about 400 of the web sites they host go down for most of yesterday and today (Monday). I certainly apologize if you have been trying to reach us or make a purchase through our web site. Supposedly, their technicians are working on the issue.

Time is running out on our Labor Day sale. It ends at 5pm eastern today. Order now and every hat is on sale, simply add the hat to your shopping cart and see the sale price. Don’t wait too long though because as I write this there’s only 6 hours and 38 minutes left to save. Start shopping!

A new addition to this years fall lineup from Kangol is the Dazzle Herringbone 504 cap. Just like so many Kangol hats, the Dazzle 504 is comfortable, stylin’ and very cool. This certainly isn’t your grandfather’s boring old herringbone cap.

Stefeno’s ever popular long-billed herringbone newsboy cap is back in stock. This is a great cap for the fall and winter seasons. It’s available up to size XXL which makes it even more popular as not every manufacturer makes that larger size. Check it out:

Now through the end of the day on Sunday, August 16, 2009 we’re offering free shipping on all Tilley Hats.

We just got a preview of the new Tilley hats for Fall 2009 and thought you’d be interested in seeing one of them. This is the new Tilley Montana Hat:

The Montana is made of 100% wool felt that’s been treated for rain, snow and stain repellency. It has a pinched crown and downward sloping stitched brim. The brim is 3″ wide front and back and 2 3/4″ on the sides. The Montana hat is fully lined with a Hydrofil polyester to keep you warm and dry plus it has a hidden secret pocket and tuckaway ear warmers. Of course, no Tilley hat would be complete without the famous lifetime guarantee.

Get a Tilley hat on!

It seems like it’s been raining for 40 days and 40 nights. Maybe it’s not that bad but we’ve had a lot of rain. What better reason for a new hat though? Here are my top three picks for a new rain hat:

1. Any Tilley hat is perfect. You can’t go wrong with a hat that’s guaranteed for life, insured against loss and machine washable.
2. The Betmar Quilted Bucket for women. A cute little bucket hat made to withstand the rain and be stylish.
3. The Kangol Rain Coniston ivy cap. Ivy caps are so popular right now why not pick one that’s already treated for the rain.
