wool cloche, Liza Rietz
Quick, a new hat for cold ears! Top of our list is Liza Rietz‘ wool cloche. Tomorrow the designer is putting up a number of new cloches in wool and cashmere for sale here and they’re also available at the studio/shop she shares with John Blasioli (2305 SW Savier).
earflap hat, Precious by Laura Irwin
We love this chunky hat with earflaps from Precious by Laura Irwin (and many of its knit cousins) that can be found at Seaplane (827 NW 23rd).
Our nomination for best name for a hat label or for that matter any apparel company at all is Heating and Cooling whose smart caps will be available at Crafty Wonderland’s massive upcoming December 16 sale at Norse Hall.
applique hat, Woolie Originals
Elizabeth Rohloff has a number of her hats at the Art Institute’s students and staff sale. Knot Ugly has updated their beanie/cloche with a new mini-brim in cashmere, and Woolie Originals does reconstructed hats with knit applique, available at Noun: a person’s place for things and Mink. And of course, Dayna Pinkham’s Pinkham Millinery should not be missed.
One last photo of this great Brooklyn hat by Precious!
