The Spring & Summer 2012 Catalog
The Carlos Hat Collection from Carlos Santana is a line of fedoras and caps from none other than legendary guitarist, Carlos Santana. Expressing himself through fashion, the Guitar Heaven rock god brings no fear and no borders to hats like The Collective, a stingy brim fedora in a lightweight and comfortable blend of polyester and cotton braid. Intricate in design, this dress hat is finished with a suede band and overlay, and features roped piping and applique, with an Abraxas Angel pin. The Caravanserai is another Santana fedora from

the Spring/Summer 2012 collection, and it's made from a premium quality paper braid called shantung. The dress hat is quite striking with features including hand painted stitching, a three-pleat rayon band, leather piping and an Abraxas Angel pin. The bound brim is just stingy at two inches.
Another stunning fedora for warm weather wear is called The Soloing. This bound stingy brim hat from the Santana by Carlos Santana line is crafted from extra fine palmilla. It boasts a classic pinch front and is trimmed with a leather huarache-style weave band. The handwoven zarape sweatband adds wearer comfort -- you may never take it off! The Tempo is yet another example of a great looking men's hat. Crafted in fancy toyo, the pattern on this stingy brim fedora is anchored by its solid faux leather trim with ribbon overlay and bound brim. I also very much like a toyo hat called The Wave. It's got a classic fedora shape with a wide ribbon. Details abound with contrast stitching on the band and on the bound stingy brim. A guitar pin completes the look, and an inner drawstring keeps it on.
There's even a Panama hat from Carlos Santana, very smooth in a shade called putty. The Sacred Fire satin-lined fedora has a stingy brim, faux leather trim, hand branded heart design and Abraxas Angel pin. If you knew that Sacred Fire is also the name of the 1993 Santana album dedicated to the life of Latino civil rights activist, Cesar Chavez, you're a true Santana trivia buff. You'll also be favorably impressed with a stingy brim fedora crafted from palm leaf and called The Influence. A stingy brim hat, with a bound brim that measures 1 3/4 inches, it's new this season from Santana by Carlos Santana, and features a leather trim with an embossed OM, the Hindu symbol of the Absolute. The sweatband is a comfortable handwoven zarape or shawl-like fabric you're sure to appreciate.
From the Santana by Carlos Santana line of men's caps, there's The Fortune, a handwoven cotton ivy cap that is finished with a satin lining in an Abraxas Angel print. It's crisp and cool and it'll look good on your head. The brilliant colors in The Superstitious, a handwoven driver cap, make this a must-have in your summer cap collection. The design is clean and classy and (like The Fortune), it has an Abraxas Angel print satin lining.
Cadet caps from Santana include The Spirit, a washed cotton leather-trimmed cap that features embroidered art on its brim, sides and inside the crown, and The Soul, also in cotton, and detailed with the Santana name and guitar emblem in embroidery on the brim and crown. Both Santana caps have a true-fit velcro backstrap, thus rendering them practical in addition to being esoteric and just plain cool.
The Generation is one of our most popular caps from the Carlos Hats Collection. It's a linen blend driver cap with a faux leather peak and embroidered Abraxas angel. For you Santana trivia buffs, Abraxas is the name of Santana's second album and it's a mystical word used by Gnostic Greeks as a charm. Kind of adds a touch of Guitar Heaven spirituality to this Santana cap, wouldn't you say?
