Borat's Favorite Hats

EVERY MAN, ANY OCCASION

Quality and Value are not mutually exclusive. These hats have been carefully designed and manufactured so that there is no compromise in the materials, the workmanship, the fit, or the styling. Because the world is getting smaller, Jaxon Hats is able to source the planet in an effort to bring customers headwear that meets the twin criteria of "Quality" and "Value". This is a new line, available at VillageHatShop.com in both the Retail and Wholesale sections of the site. This line will grow considerably in the months and years ahead so, if you are a hat lover, be certain to revisit Jaxon Hats on a regular basis.

sur la tête is the brain child of millinery designer Susan Lee. Ms. Lee began her career in hats while, as an art history student at The University of California San Diego, she worked part-time in sales at The Village Hat Shop’s retail stores in both Seaport Village And Horton Plaza. Her unique style, flair, good humor, and stellar work habits caught the attention of management. As fate would have it, the hat retailer’s long-time buyer and merchandise manager retired to full-time motherhood at the same time that Susan graduated from the University. She was offered the job, accepted it, and the rest is hat history. Susan literally traveled the world learning the millinery trade and buying hats. sur la tête represents her breakout from buyer to designer. Because of Ms. Lee’s background as a retail buyer, this line brings together her deep understanding of what a customer is looking for with the fashion forward flair that is pure Susan. And to top it off (pun intended), these hats go from manufacturer to customer without middle distribution – what that means to you is great prices. Enjoy – be the first on your block to wear a sur la tête.

If you were closely watching Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan , you may have noticed the traditional Kazakh headwear. It just so happens that we have examples of these distinctive hats in our collection. Our friend and ex-Village Hat Shop store manager, Tom Toomey, is currently working in Kazakhstan. Tom, who travels and works in all the “Stans” as well as in Russia, never fails to make important contributions to our always-expanding collection of hats from around the world.

: The Kalpak: The traditional hat worn by men in both Kazakhstan and neighboring Kyrgyzstan. It is usually white with designs of black embroidery. The hat is primarily seen today in towns and villages, but is still worn on the streets of Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, where older men wearing business suits are often topped by their kalpaks.

: The Fanck Kalpak: Note the differences with this kalpak. It has expanded gold embroidery designs on the crown and the brim, a rounded rather than squared crown, and a small tassel coming from the top. This hat is to be worn on important occasions, celebrations, and the like.

You should be saying that the wedding hat is for women not for men, because the first 2 hats are for men.
