There's certainly nothing cooler than a linen blend ball cap. New from Goorin Bros., The Eleven Times Cap is a six-panel ball cap made from a blend of 70% cotton and 30% linen. The front panels are in Brown, contrasting with the White at rear and you'll see contrast stitching is used throughout. The snapback one-size-fits-most cap has a two inch brim, striped underbrim and interfaced cotton sweatband. It's really quite a cap!

Another Goorin lid is called The Captain Morgan. It's a 100% cotton cadet cap with a 1 3/4" brim and 3/4" self band with Goorin pin. The cotton lining and underbrim are striped and there's contrast stitching on the brim and seams. It's offered in a great check pattern and has an interfaced cotton sweatband for comfortable wear.

New from Borsalino this season is a patchwork newsboy cap called The Vincenzio. Made from a 50/50 blend of linen and cotton, this striking 8/4 panel cap is made from an alternating patchwork of solid and patterned panels. Each cap is unique, and finished with a single snap for the brim, grosgrain fabric sweatband and cool mesh lining. Until it's sold out, The Vincenzio is offered in your choice of Blue or Tan/Rust.

More choices come your way with respect to stingy brim hats from both JB Stetson and Goorin. The Stetson hat has a very stingy brim at just 1 1/4 inches, and the linen blend fedora has a smart windowpane pattern, self-trim and Stetson pin. The Josh Kerr Stroller is a walking hat from Goorin with an "A" crown and narrow brim. The contrast ribbon band has a Goorin button badge and the hat is cotton lined with contrast stitching on the seams and brim. Another stingy brim hat from Goorin is called The Mr. Giant. Made from a blend of 40% linen and 60% cotton, this fedora is crushable and has a 1 1/2 inch brim with contrast bound edge, matching cotton band and pin.

Whether it's a newsboy cap from Kangol or a fashion ivy cap from Christys' London (about which one satisfied customer said: "This ivy cap is colorful in an understated way, with just the right amount of color. The quality and fit are superb. The material is light and makes for a great summer hat. I enjoy wearing this hat."), or even that very popular JB Stetson snap brim rain hat, The Andes, the choice of men's hats in linen and cotton has never been greater. Men, it's shopping time!
