Here’s a nice casual trilby for when the sun decides to make an appearance.  If you’re going to be a “hat man” I think it’s wise to go somewhat understated (unless, you know, it’s a costume thing!) and this one fits the bill perfectly.

Also available in a lighter shade of brown with a rather dapper green band for the more rakish gent.

Fly53 “Konk” Trilby – £20

It’s well beyond the time of year now where you realise that it’s all down hill from here until at least next June.  There’s nothing else for it but to wrap up warm and restrict your exposure to the elements to quick sprints to the nearest public house.  Not all of us are fortunate enough to live next door to the Dog and Smoking Jacket but fear not – help is at hand.  Or head.

The “Beard Head” is a winter hat with a difference.  Not only does it cover your top bit, it keeps your face and neck warm too with an ingenious feature – a built-in moustache and beard.  Available in several colours such as the Lumberjack (brown), the Grandpa (grey) and the Viking (blonde).  There’s even a pink “Bunny Edition” for the ladies.  Not only that, but you can also personalise your Beard Head by changing the moustache style.  Comfort AND fashion!

Available direct from Beard Head for $24.99 USD – and yes, they ship internationally.
