Hoquy Wool Basque Beret |
---|
Made in France - Exclusive to the US Please Note: The Navy Blue color is deep and dark in tone. The iconic Hoquy Beret is known all over the world, made by Héritage par Laulhère, a company that has been in existence since 1840. The design studio and workshops are all located within the foothills of the French Pyrenees, the very last of the producers of the beret in Oloron-Ste-Marie. The origin of the "Basque" beret is actually from the Bearn Shepherds of the same name, Bearn. They first hand knit the beret and then felted the wool in mountain waters to create a hat that protects against the sun and harsh winters. Basque became the more popular term when Napoleon III, noticed it upon the laborers working on his Palais de Biarritz. The quality of the workmanship is evident in this simple but elegant beret. The merino wool is soft but durable and water resistant. The luxe foulard finish to the wool is a characteristic unique only to Héritage par Laulhère's luxe line of Basque berets, including the Hoquy.

Heritage Collection 1920s Fedora Hat |
---|
Made in the USA The "Roaring Twenties", as the decade is affectionately dubbed, saw an explosion of rich cultural activity, brought on by unprecedented economic prosperity. Gangsters, flappers, speakeasies, jazz and the Charleston were sweeping the nation. Fashion likewise grew by leaps and bounds during this time, as the public became less and less inhibited by prior social standards. People were finally "letting loose" by donning such aesthetically-audacious ensembles. The term Fedora was in use as early as 1891 but the style really took off in the Twenties, topping off men's fashion during a golden age. The Fedora featured a pinched crown with the brim turned down in the front and up in the back. This complimented the women's Cloche style. Indeed, blithe indulgence marked this decade. And once again, Bollman was there indulging hat lovers with headwear that made a personal fashion statement and truly captured the exuberance of America at the time. The Fedora has evolved and endured and Bollman has produced more varieties of the Fedora than any other style in it's history. Approx. 4" Center Pinch Crown 2 1/2" Underwelt Brim Made of: 100% Wool Felt Printed Leather Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Sizes: S, M, L, and XL; fits true to size. |

For Wholesale/B2B purchase of this style, CLICK HERE or call us at 1-888-847-4287. Note from sur la tete Designer, Susan Lee: Having designed the hat, I decided to take it for a test run while on a cruise in the Bahamas. First test was packing the hat to get to the vacation destination. When packing a hat, I usually stuff the crown with socks, pack it upside down while supporting the brim with clothes; but I had a trolley (rolling) garment bag so the usual was not going to work. I packed the hat flat (no stuffing in the crown, brim down-not folded in anyway, there is a plastic support in the brim that helps to retain the shape of the brim) near the hanger clamp, in-between some clothes, zipped it up; and when I opened my bag in the Bahamas, the hat was still in place. Small wrinkles were easily steamed out when placed on the bathroom door hook during a shower. The hat traveled well and retained it's shape. I received compliments on the wide brim and simple but classic design. This hat will work with many face shapes, you can flip the brim up in the front, when you need a better view; or flip it up in the back when reading your book while on a deck chair in the sun. Don't be afraid to travel with your hat! |
