If you're looking for sheer elegance in silhouette, you'll find it with The Persian Envoy Dress Winter Hat, gorgeous and warm in nothing less than 100% genuine Persian lambs wool. The Envoy is fully lined and has a woolen pull-down ear band for added protection. Another winter hat that has the same shape is The Diplomat. Made of tough, plush sheepskin shearling, The Shearling Diplomat Winter Hat design allows you to pull the fur trim down around your ears and neck for extra warmth. For another version of The Diplomat, look to The Sherpa Dress Winter Hat, made of synthetic Sherpa fabric. You get the same distinctive (and quilt-lined) traditional silhouette, with hidden fold-down ear flaps in warm melton weave, at a terrific bargain price.

Even serious sportsmen, winter fishermen, hunters and other people who refuse to come in out of the cold need solid winter headwear. Thank goodness for The Bailey Sportsman Oilskin Cap! This 4-panel outdoor trooper, made of genuine oilskin, is lined with wool felt, giving full protection and warmth under the harshest of weather conditions. If it's wet, windy and generally mulish weather you're facing (but not actually life-threatening), you'll do well with The Outback Oil Cloth Grizzly Hat. This is a good-looking and very rugged outdoor hat looking for a little foul weather fun.
