Hat types: from beanies to summer hats
Beanies and knit caps
The beanie is the quintessential winter hat: warm, versatile, and suitable for casual, streetwear, and workwear looks. Red Wing Shoes merino wool and jersey models offer durability and daily comfort, while Bl'ker 100% cashmere beanies ensure premium softness and warmth. Carhartt WIP offers the classic Chase Beanie with an embroidered logo, an icon of contemporary streetwear. Iron and Resin interprets the beanie with a heritage twist through the Fisherman and Watchman models, inspired by American tradition. Edwin completes the selection with minimal beanies featuring an essential cut.
Visor hats and driver caps
Driver caps and visor hats combine functionality and vintage style. Lierys offers Duck Cap and Diver Cap models in wool, perfect for autumn and winter looks with a European fit. Stetson offers linen driver caps for the warmer season, maintaining the Texan brand's tradition of craftsmanship.
Summer hats in straw, raffia, and toyo
For the warm season, Stetson dominates the selection with toyo straw, raffia, and linen hats. The Texas, Trilby, and Player models combine sun protection and classic American style, ideal for casual summer outfits. Craftsmanship and natural materials ensure breathability and durability.
Materials and construction quality
The choice of material determines comfort, seasonality, and durability. Bl'ker 100% cashmere offers maximum thermal insulation with absolute lightness, ideal for harsh winters. Red Wing Shoes merino wool and jersey ensure warmth and resistance to daily wear. Carhartt WIP beanies use an acrylic blend to maintain shape and color over time. For summer, Stetson toyo straw and raffia ensure freshness and breathability, while linen offers natural elegance. Lierys combed wool driver caps combine structure and softness.
Styles and brand identities
Each brand brings a precise stylistic identity. Stetson represents the American tradition of handcrafted hats, with over 150 years of history. Carhartt WIP translates workwear heritage into an urban streetwear key. Red Wing Shoes maintains the functional aesthetic of American manual labor. Iron and Resin interprets the Californian spirit between surf, motorcycles, and the outdoors. Bl'ker focuses on accessible luxury with pure cashmere. Lierys brings the German tradition of sartorial headwear. Edwin completes the range with Japanese minimalism.
How to choose and style your hat
The hat defines the attitude of the look. A Carhartt WIP beanie pairs with parkas, hoodies, and sneakers for streetwear outfits. Red Wing Shoes beanies work with denim, work shirts, and heritage boots. Bl'ker cashmere models enhance structured coats and elegant urban outfits. Lierys driver caps pair well with tweed jackets and vintage-inspired looks. Stetson summer hats complete casual outfits with chinos, linen, and T-shirts. For a balanced result, the hat must dialogue with proportions: wide silhouettes require structured beanies, while slim looks are balanced by soft models.

Frequently asked questions about hats
How to choose the right hat size?
Most beanies are one-size-fits-all thanks to their elastic fit. Lierys driver caps follow standard European sizes (S-M-L-XL). For Stetson summer hats, measure the head circumference above the eyebrows and consult the specific size chart for the model.
Are Bl'ker cashmere beanies warmer than wool?
Yes, cashmere offers greater thermal insulation for the same weight compared to traditional wool. Bl'ker 100% cashmere beanies are lighter, softer, and warmer than wool models, ideal for cold temperatures without adding bulk.
What is the difference between Carhartt WIP and Red Wing Shoes beanies?
Carhartt WIP has an urban streetwear aesthetic with a visible embroidered logo and a contemporary fit. Red Wing Shoes maintains a functional workwear approach with discreet branding and robust construction. Both are unisex but with different stylistic identities.
How to wash a cashmere beanie without damaging it?
Hand wash in cold water with a specific cashmere detergent, without rubbing or twisting. Rinse gently and dry flat on a towel, away from heat sources. Never use a washing machine or dryer.
Do Stetson summer hats protect against UV rays?
Yes, natural materials such as toyo straw, raffia, and linen offer natural sun protection. The woven texture and visor ensure effective coverage. For maximum protection, choose wide-brimmed models like the Texas or the Trilby.
Are Lierys driver caps suitable for winter?
Yes, the Duck Cap and Diver Cap wool models are designed for autumn and winter. Combed wool offers warmth and the inner lining ensures comfort. They are ideal for cool temperatures but not as harsh as those requiring a cashmere beanie.
