Another new arrival this week is the Stetson Windham. This is a hat that we did a lot of special orders on so we decided to stock them.
This is a really nice fedora. The proportions are right and the binding on the brim is a really nice touch. It’s available in either the Mink Brown shown above or in Black. It is fur felt and has a 2 1/2″ snap brim.
Get a fedora on,

I just received a big shipment of Stetson fur felt fedoras so over the next few days I’ll post what has come in. You’ll find additional colors of the Temple and Chatham as well as a couple new styles like the Stetson Pelham 100% beaver fedora shown here:
The 100% beaver Stetson Pelham has a 2 1/2″ snap brim, leather sweatband and a satin lining. The color shown here is Caribou but can also be special ordered in Black or Mink.

We just received three new Panama fedora hats by Scala. Scala, a brand of Dorfman Pacific, has these boring style numbers for their hats so I decided to name these after some famous US presidents; the Jefferson, Adams and Reagan. These are all great Panama hats that each have a little different style to them. I think you’ll agree that these are comfortable, affordable and portray a very classic style no matter what you wear the hat with.
Here’s the Reagan shown on yours truly:

How’s this for the ultimate packable hat…the Tilley LT1B bucket hat. Like most all other Tilley Hats it’s guaranteed for life, insured against loss, repels rain and provides excellent sun protection. But the best part is that it folds into itself making it the ultimate packable hat. Check it out:
And it folds into its own internal pocket to become this:

This hat is absolutely amazing!
The Tilley TWP1 Waterproof Hat. Not only is this hat guaranteed for life and insured against loss like most Tilley hats but check this out from Tilley description:
Not only are all the seams sealed, but the exterior Nylon is laminated with a waterproof backing, making this Hat a superb rain stopper. For those days when the weather is a mite unpredictable, a zipper venting system allows for maximum airflow between downpours. When the rain eases, the YYK™ zipper vent allows air to circulate throughout the mesh interior for coolness and comfort. A 3M Scotchlite™ reflective hatband, zipper pull and wind cord make the Waterproof Hat more visible in heavy precipitation or at dawn, dusk or nighttime. An interior size adjuster ensures a custom fit. And if all that wasn’t enough, it provides maximum sun protection as well, rated at an “EXCELLENT” UPF 50+, the maximum rating given.
At a time when so many other hat companies keep cranking out the same ol’ styles and fabrics Tilley keeps on innovating and is truly “Leader of the Pack”.
Congratulations Tilley!

The fourth installment of the Indiana Jones movies, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will hit the theaters on May 22. It’s been nearly 20 years since the last Indy movie but the anticipation for this movie is just as strong as the last movie. We have seen a gradual increase in the requests for Indiana Jones hats over the last couple months but that demand has skyrocketed in the few couple days. The most popular Indiana Jones hats are the wool felt fedora and the fur felt fedora but people are even scooping up the Indiana Jones ballcaps.
Don’t wait any longer…buy your Indiana Jones hat and start your own adventure today.

It’s a real value day in and day out at only $24.
So what are you waiting for? Click it and have it on your head in a week…or sooner.

There has been much anticipation for the Stetson Nostalgia and customers have been pre-ordering them quite quickly. I received some of those this week and found I have an extra 7 3/8 in the Caribou color. The Stetson Nostalgia comes as an open crown fedora but it can be shaped like this:
I’ll sell this hat to the first customer who calls or places their order online for the pre-order price of $125. That’s a $15 savings and you would have it in less than a week.

PS: If you’re not going to jump on this deal then be sure to tell all your friends.
If you’re a regular reader of this blog you know that I frequently talk about skin cancer and proper sun protection. Since today is May first, I thought I’d remind everyone that May is Skin Cancer Awareness month. Even though we haven’t hit summer temps here in the White Mountains we have already seen the seasonal increase in customers asking for hats with certified sun protection. Once summer hits we will have customers walk into the store almost every single day who have had a scare with skin cancer. Skin cancer is one of the most preventable cancers and it doesn’t take a lot of effort. All you need to do is limit your exposure to the sun during the peak afternoon hours, wear the right clothing and wear a proper sun hat.
A customer favorite for women is the Scala LC399 Sun Hat which is available in over a dozen colors:
A customer favorite for men is the Tilley LTM5:
Any hat will provide a certain amount of sun protection but the wider the brim the more protection you will receive. Check out our hats for sun protection category for some great hats with certified UV protection.

All Tilley hats are packable, water resistant, float, tie on in the wind and are insured against loss for the first two years. Most Tilley hats (excluding the felt and raffia hats) are also machine washable and guaranteed for life. That’s right, guaranteed for life. When was the last time you bought something that was guaranteed for life? I bet it’s been a while.
Here’s a picture of our best seller, the Tilley LTM5:
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.
