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, CMO – 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.

HEY Was Westley’s CARGOS A RECENT RELEASE FROM UNIQLO ??
Anybody have hat suggestions for a smaller head?
Same deal with sunglasses, for that matter…
Smaller hats and sunglasses should work.
Westley – that bomber is fantastic! I can never find good vintage – when I do it never fits. What’s the secret to good vintage finds?
@Townsend I’m looking to swap the black buttons on a peacoat for some brass ones as well. I’m just wondering where you were able to find them or if you have any advice on the best places to find a similar style of buttons (I’m thinking an army surplus store). Thanks any info would be very helpful. And great post all the way around.
I know the focus is supposed to be on the hats (which are all beautiful), but I want nothing more than that cropped navy trench. Stunning. Happy 2012.
Happy belated new year to yu and your team. Thanks for another great year of tips and ideas. May 2012, bring you all light, peace and prosperity at the style blogger!

Very nice hat and tie on the last photo.
All the best,

Barker Black make some of the most amazing shoes. They’re stunning. Can’t wait for my first pair.
This is off topic, but why is there never any picture of you wearing a three button suit? Thanks for answering, though it’s off topic, thanks.
Hey SB! Do u know what kind of boots alex is wearing as he dangles from the tree? lol thanks, nd keep up the good work!
Clarks desert boot, looks like the waxed ones.
Nice post. I’ve actually never really seen a younger man wear a fedora hat like you do. I think it’d be hard to pull off in some locations, even urban places (such as DC). I also would think one would have to be pretty “established” to pull a fedora like that off. I can’t imagine a college student being able to wear that appropriately. What are you opinions on how to pull this off?
Make sure you wear it with confidence, and dress appropriately with the rest of your outfit. Avoid this look at all costs:

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
Repair .. you need some serious REPAIR. thats all you got from the post smh.
