Straw Fedora Hat

Last Friday, Guess released for the very first time a fragrance for men. I personally like it. It smells a bit strong at first, but then comes off very light.

Anyways, the reson I am posting this, is because I am on a mission. If you guys see below, one of the ads for the fragrance campaign. My mission is to find that exact same hat that the model is using. All I know its a straw fedora stingy brim hat. I was wondering could anybody help me find this hat??

I called Guess, and they said its not an Guess item, that it was just something that the photographer put on the model. This is my very first post, I was wondering if maybe you guys can point me in the right direction. Thanks ahead of time

that EXACT hat? that i dont know..

but you can actually find fedoras anywhere...H&M, FrenchConnection...or Neimans or Saks...hell, even Wal-Mart might carry them..i dont know where you live, so i cant point you in the exact direction..

or you can try any hatshop..its a staple in mens' millinery, so any of them should carry it (and if you get it at a hatshop, then the less likely a lot of other people will have it, versus getting it @ H&M or whatever other chain store is in your area..)

Hope this helps...and welcome to TFS..

Hey thanks, for the reply, I appreciate it. I guess I don't need the exact hat, but I woudl ike that very much. Right now to me its like a car, that I want really really bad, and it has to be the same car, same color. lol

there's one on Newbury, called Toppers..they're selection of fedoras isnt that great, but ive always found somethng there..it's mostly womens hats, but they have mens hats in the back..actually, thats where i get all my hats..sometimes, if you act really really interested in hats, the owner might give you a discount..

and since you're in Boston too, im sure you know the H&M/FC/Neimans/Saks locations i mentioned..

best of luck!

What kind of hat is this?

Hello,

I've been looking all over for a hat like this, and I can't find anything like it, anywhere! Not online, and not around my city.. So I wondering, if anyone knows, could they tell me what the name of the style of the hat is... And possibly, somewhere to buy it online or something?

it's all good.

But, anyways. Thanks for your help.

I cant tell by the angle, but they look like bucket-hats..A lot of your high-end designers have their version, and your local hat-shop should carry them as well...I recently saw some at UrbanOutfitters..

Hope this helps..

 

[trepidationdream]

^ I agree. I think it's just a typical bucket/fisherman hat only with, possibly, a wider brim, so that's why it's more 'floppy?'

 

[Benny Fury]

Awesome.

Thanks for your help you guys, I really do appreciate it..

I'll put that information to good use.. I need a nice hat....

It resembles a cloche.

That hat...is not cute. I think the technical term is floppy fedora, Coach has a few, and they're godawful.

 

[Ianastar]

It looks like a felt bucket hat.

Similar to that huge one J-LO wore at some point.

Similar to that huge one J-LO wore at some point.

I noticed it but didnt want to completely shoot him down. Im sure J.Lo wore that and Dior recently had one with a python belt on it...

 

[rayder]

from m&s

ebay.com

 

[ibimus]

Your Thoughts on Hats

greetings all...

I am a great admirer of a stunning hat and I would love to hear your thoughts on them. What is fresh? What designers are on point? What needs to be buried in the backyard?

My all time favorite is Stephen Jones : http://www.stephenjonesmillinery.com/ and recently I came across Domakaya who makes some more interesting knit hats : http://www.domakaya.com/flash.htm .

Looking for a KY Derby hat

Can anyone give me the name of a store (NYC) or a website online that sells nice hats that can be worn at the KY derby?

Thanks in advance.
