leather newsboys, edgy fedoras in wool and jazzy pork pie hats. Choice abounds even within a category. Taking fedoras as an example, compare Scala's Venice (a fur felt fedora with center dent) with the The New Yorker (a wool felt fedora). The latter is less an 'event' hat than a stylish everyday hat for the man on the move. Even headgear functions (the reason behind the lid) are taken into consideration by the good people at Scala -- presumably so you can get on with wearing your hat. On the one hand, Scala offers something as useful as The Travel Roll-up Rain Hat in fully water repellent cotton; on the other, they've got the satin-lined, suede-finished Sorrento fur felt dress hat, a formal stingy brim affair (with a 1 3/4 inch snap front), finely trimmed with a grosgrain ribbon and double bow and completed with the trademark Scala lambskin sweatband.
When it comes to using the same material for different toppers, Scala's ingenuity is admirable. Not only can you enjoy the look and feel of wool felt with The Mad Hatter, but also in the crushable snap brimmed Roadmaster Wool Felt Fedora, with its 2 1/2" bound edge brim and slim 6 ligne grosgrain band. The difference between the two is not just the obvious hat styles themselves, but also the stiffness of the material. In other words, you can squish your Roadmaster, then shake it out and wear it; however, except for the squish, the same cannot be said for the Mad Hatter wool felt. The Zoot is another wool felt fedora for men that can hold up to hard wear and weather, while retaining its racy attitude. I guess what I'm saying is that Scala means choice. Not literally, of course, but with the Scala headwear collection encompassing every style of men's hats and caps, it's an honest mistake. You've got your woolen newsboys like The Italian and herringbone ivy caps with lobe-warming drop-down earflaps; you've got your outback hats in braided raffia and with crocheted crowns; you've got your warm weather fedoras in sisal and toyo, as well as your safari hats (some in toyo and others in twisted seagrass). The various takes on Panama hats are impressive, yet the stand-by favorites, like their cotton bucket hat, don't deviate one iota from the tried and true. Get a little Scala in your life today.
