Long scarf

How to Tie a Long Scarf: Rosette

Create a rosette out of any oblong scarf.

1. Fold one end of the scarf back 3 inches lengthwise and roll the scarf width wise to create the rosette.
2. Holding the rosette so that it doesn't unravel, place the middle of the scarf at the back of your neck so that the rosette is near the neck and the other end drapes long in front.
3. Take both ends, knot and pull the knot up to your neck so that the rosette is visible

Rainn Wilson, Terrence Howard, etc...

Look out for Rainn Wilson (Dwight from THE OFFICE) sporting fedoras in his interviews and in the press. His stylist pick up a couple of hats that Rainn loved. It's something new for him but hopefully it's a start of a beautiful relationship.

Also, we had a nice visit from our old friend and customer, Terrence Howard. Terrence always makes a point of stopping by when he's in town working, eventhough his hometown of Philadelphia is a very traditional "hat town" and has several places where he can shop.

Check out an upcoming Heineken commercial with THE WIRE's Gregory Williams sporting a Hollywood Hatters fedora as well as Priceline's "The Big Deal" with one of our derby's.

Matt Goss

So Matt Goss has been a customer of HH for several years. Honestly, I never knew who he was. Sure I knew his name, his hat size and what kind of hats he liked. But I never knew what he did... until now.  It seems Mr. Goss is an international known singer and performer who has sold over 17 million records!!! He has headlined at the Palms hotel in Las Vegas consistantly selling out and is ready to move over to Ceasars Palace. With so many worldwide tourists visiting LV, they know him and flock to hear him live.  I plan on checking him out on my next trip up to Crapsville.
Here he is in one of our hats! View deets of this hat here: http://hollywoodhatters.com/details/soho.html

Adam Lambert Tweets Shaved Head, Top Hat Look

In his new music video, Adam Lambert seems to pay tribute to the Mad Hatter.
In a newly-posted Twitter pic, though, the singer appears to pay tribute to a formerly mad celebrity: Britney Spears.

Lambert has shaven at least part of his head, as evidenced below. He's covered his noggin with a top hat for now, though, a style he'll show off this summer across North America on his new tour.

Visor Lao Cap

A lined flat-topped cap that fits snugly just above your ears. Styled after a military cap, the linen cap shown here has a Garden theme. This cap lends itself well to both linen and wool, and can be custom made in a number of different themes. See a Steampunk version at DeviantArt.

Classic Six Hat

Reminiscent of the lavishly embroidered hat worn by the hero in a Russian fairy tale, this hat is embroidered and beaded on all panels, and finished with a fur cuff and yarn tassel. In wool only. Shown here with Nouveau design and reclaimed black Russian Lamb.

The Bowler/Derby

Bowlers are hard, made of felt, and have very short brims. While considered a British icon, the bowler was also part of the urban culture of America in the 19^th century. For example, one of the gangs that roamed the mean streets of New York City around this time were the Plug Uglies. The Uglies were never without their bowler hats which they wore both as their signature piece and to protect their heads during their many scuffles with rival gangs.

The Homburg

The Homburg is another hat similar to the fedora. The Homburg’s brim lacks the fedora’s pinches, and is turned up all the way around. The hat is accented with a hatband into which a feather may be stuck. Less casual than a top hat, and dressier than a fedora, the Homburg was the go to lid for politicians and diplomats in the 20^th century. Favored by the Godfather and resurrected by the likes of Snoop Dogg and Tupac, the Homburg now carries a distinctly gangster flavor.

The Porkpie

Named for its resemblance to an actual pork pie, this hat is similar to a fedora but with a flat top instead of a pinched crown. The brim is also shorter and turned up. The hat is often associated with the jazz, blues, and ska culture, but was also worn by the likes of Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atom bomb.

The Fedora

Fedoras were once considered de rigueur for men going out in public and a necessary accessory to formal and business attire. While once mainstream, a man in a fedora is now seen as a trendsetter. Fedoras are soft, usually made of felt, creased lengthwise down the crown, and pinched on both sides. Obviously you cannot pair a fedora with jeans and a polo. They are only an appropriate accent for dressier outfits. But the pay off-loads of style, class, and confidence-make dressing up worth it. Fedoras will make you look manly and a bit mysterious. Worn by Prohibition era gangsters, almost all of the movie stars of the 1940′s, and Old Blue Eyes himself, donning a fedora puts you in touch with a truly luminous and manly heritage.

The Flat Cap

The flat cap has a rounded shape, a small brim and a high back. Long associated with working class men in the UK, the flat cap can be a stylish way to add interest to a casual outfit. They can give your tired jeans and t-shirt look some unique style. Choose the more masculine flat cap over the similar, but rounder and puffier newsboy cap. The latter has been almost entirely co-opted by the ladies.
