Classic Headwear featuring Stetson & TSB Team

Classic Headwear featuring Stetson & TSB Team
Classic Headwear featuring Stetson & TSB Team
It’s always great to have the team together – especially for showroom visits.
Last month when we visited the Stetson office we were missing Westley, but Karyn – soon to be host of The Style Blogger for Her - filled in nicely.
We each selected our favorite hat from their current season’s well-rounded collection and styled it in our own way.
Townsend, PR/Media Assistant – Wool Herringbone Cap
What I love about Townsend’s style is that it’s always very classic. It’s not over-thought, it’s natural. It’s preppy without the overdone in-your-face “modern twist”. The way preppy was meant to be. It’s him. He’s been dressing in cords, oxfords and peacoats for years and will continue to do so forever.
Naturally, he went with an Ivy Cap in a classic menswear fabric.
A wool herringbone driving cap in a neutral color (like grey, navy, green, black, brown) is the type of hat you fall in love with. You find it surprisingly versatile. It goes with everything. Then it breaks-in and gets very comfortable. It’s warm. Cozy, you might say. Then you find yourself missing it. And suddenly applying hair product is a pain. It’s a relationship now.
And that’s why men have old, classic hats.
Chris, Head of Video Production – “Boss of the Plain” Cowboy
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
“This may not be a typical outfit for me, but I like to dress appropriately for all occasions; a nice dinner, a party or even a rodeo. I’m working on a documentary about bull riding and thought I should make the effort.
This boss of the plain hat looks so authentic. The detailing gives it a worn feel so I won’t look like I just ripped the tag off my new hat when I’m around real cowboys.
I tried to mix in my own personal style so it’s more natural and not too costumy. Ralph Lauren makes great classic, rustic American pieces so it’s easy to make his clothes look a little country.”
Dan, Founder/Author – Felt Fedora
When a friend of mine told her grandfather to pack his suit, he packed a jacket, trousers, shirt, tie, shoes, socks, braces, and a hat.
Believe it or not, there was a time, not very long ago, when a man wouldn’t step outside his house without a hat on. And it wasn’t a baseball cap or a beanie. It was a fedora (or a similar shape).
Men rarely wear brimmed hats anymore, it’s a shame that things have swung so far the other way. The good news is, wearing a classic felt fedora, the same hat that men have been “pulling off” day-in and day-out for years, is now considered a style statement by many.
A classic felt fedora can be dressed up or down and is awesome for the rain. One of the things that guys forget when they buy cheap headwear is that hats should be able to protect your head from the elements. This one (and my “grandma” featured here) are my rain hats. They take a beating keeping my head warm, face dry and hair in place. But because they’re well-made hats blocked in quality fabrics, even after a tough storm they dry quickly and bounce back into shape .
Alex, Head of Photography – Fine Felt Fedora
“The Stratoliner is a Stetson classic, one of the oldest styles.
Just like Chris’ Boss of the Plain, the Stratoliner was originally created to be a working man’s hat. A nice wide brim and a domed top (original models had a domed top, but now it’s sold “pre-crushed”) kept the wearer cool and shaded in the sun, and dry in the rain.
To pay homage to the hat’s original intent I paired it with dark jeans, a classic wool workmans shirt and some broken-in leather boots.”
Westley, Photography Assistant – Donegal Tweed Cap
“Gotta love a hat that goes with everything – including this full-shearling-lined leather bomber jacket. My best vintage find of 2011 by far.”
