Hat love is true love, hat love is for ever
Hats of all kinds were all over the runways at fashion week. Menswear pin-striped suit and fedora, caftans and fedoras, …. It seems to be the It piece of the coming fall/winter season.
Fall must-have: A fedora. #trends Click To TweetEver since I was a little kid, I have loved any type of head gear. I couldn’t imagine my closet without them. I even got married in a red skirt suit with a wide brim black hat. The first hat, I remember owning, was a red fedora with a green silk cord with two tassels around the crown. In the knot of the cord was a white feather. This type of hat was called “Tirolerhut” back then in Germany. I remember I loved my “Tirolerhut”. Of course, it was a Sunday’s Best sort of accessory.
My mom used to pair it always with my red skirt suit when we would go somewhere special on the weekend. I remember wearing that outfit when we visited the zoo in Duisburg. Pretty dressed up for a toddler. When we visited my grandparents, she paired the head topper with my favorite lederhosen.
What I picked
When I browsed Tenth Street Hat’s online store to pick a sample for review, this burgundy Vienna Scala fedora caught my eyes. The weird thing was that it looked so familiar. Almost like the grown-up version of my beloved childhood head gear. Like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for decades, but nevertheless recognized each other immediately. I thought that’s exactly what I was looking for all these years.
When I opened the package, I was really excited about the nice felt, the whimsical silver colored thin chain around the crown and the deep burgundy color. I said to my husband “Finally, I have the fedora I always wanted!”
