Lookbook

This isn't a runway. It's a list of situations you're already in, and what a satin lining actually does in each one.

Every hat here is one of the four we make, at $34, lined edge to edge in red satin. The point of the lookbook is simple: if you recognise yourself in one of these, you know which one to buy and when to wear it.

CHAPTER 01

WHEN IT RAINS

The one situation where a hat is the obvious call and the lining decides how the day ends.
