For today down here in FL, I am wearing a mystery hat posted about in the Cosmopolitan Hat Company forum. I acquired and refurbished this Genuine Milan Hemp hat from the company. It was misshapen and the hatband was torn and ragged, but it's now it is a fun wear on a sunny day. Less attention grabbing than a Turquoise Inwood, that's for sure.

Anyone have any information on this company? It's my second hat from them. The only mention I can find of this manufacturer is via the museum of African American history in a costume exhibit for Cab Calloway. I keep digging though.

I like that. 2" brim? Looks great.

Personally, I'd go with the cap; the color match is too perfect to ignore.
Hi VoodoSan

Yes the cap is the same fabric. Such is world trade one fabric roll made it to Turkey for the jacket then brought direct to Australia and the other stayed in Scotland to be made into a cap that was then shipped to a local store in Tassie. Given the limited runs of Harris Tweed and the claimed cottage industry status it was like wining the lottery.
