Anything Borsalino drives me, and their tweed Rex (a driving-style walking hat) is one to watch (then wear). Their very nice ivy cap -- with hidden knitted earlaps you can pull down for extra warmth -- is in the same category of excellence. If you're able to walk away from the hand loomed Harris Tweed Ivy Winter Cap, designed exclusively for MensHats.com, then you're a harder man than I. If, however, you've simply left to don your other City Sport winter cap, The Harris Tweed Eight Panel, why then I owe you an apology and the next one's on me.

Wool felt hats, like the Indiana Jones Vintage Indy fedora, are priced right, water repellent and crushable headgear with a look we all know and love. If, however, you're seeking a more polished delivery, perhaps an urbane look balanced with a dollop of nonchalance, Dobbs Hats Fashion Wool Collection delivers mightily with their St. George (love the hat band), Dandy (in classy bone) and Fleetwood dress hats, all in wool felt. For you train buffs with cold ears, Crown Cap of Canada comes forth with The Choo Choo, a men's wool railroad cap. It's a classic made from a blend of heavy wool and nylon and has a quilted lining with ear flaps.

So, I reiterate: if you don't have at least one wool dress hat or woolen cap on your head when you leave MensHats.com, it's not my fault.
