Top off your look with these hip—and luxe—hats
By Hailee LucchesiEvery outfit needs a hero piece, and this month it’s all about hats. Whether you are a hat connoisseur or a spontaneous wearer, top off your look with today’s hottest styles.
Parker Thomas comes from a long line of hat shapers. Growing up watching his dad and grandpa steam and shape cowboy hats, he always felt drawn to the craft. He studied his family’s steam method, which dates to the Old West, and he continues the traditional technique while perfecting his own unique fold, curve and bend for his collection. The Tan Rabbit Beaver Blend Felt Hat is a testament to his trade. The fur felt open crown shape gives the hat an old-world impression while feeling modern in the three-piece buckle hatband and sheepskin sweatband.
