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 1970s Boogie |
---|
Made in the USA Known as the "Me Decade", the 1970's strayed heavily from the socially-active movements of the Sixties, gravitating more towards eccentric lifestyles and pleasure-seeking patterns of behavior. Hard rock, pet rocks, glitter, platform shoes, disco, bell bottoms, and feminism ruled the era. Accordingly, Bollman made some of its most outlandish and extreme designs during this decadent decade. These were hats that screamed "Look at me!", and most people looked. They featured bright colors, ornate trims and wild feathers. Often times, on par with the popular expressions of the day, the best sellers were the designs that looked the most eccentric and peculiar. "Thank God we don't have to wear them all" was often heard as these wild hats came down the trim lines in the men's department at Bollman Hat Company. Approx. 4" C-Crown (Teardrop) 3" Snap Brim Made of: 100% Wool Felt Made in the USA Leopard Print Hat Band Ostrich Feather Accent Leather Print Sweatband Custom 140th Lining Size(s): S, M, L and XL - Fits true to size. |
