Mo Brixton

Got me a Delta hat and a Bowery flannel a few weeks ago (should of got a small!) The Delta is pretty bad ass. It is shorter and wider and I assume it is why the top of the hat is pushed out unlike the Stroll. The Delta sort of rests on your head. It’s made of really soft paper straw and has a nice burgundy silk lining. Me like.

The Bowery Flannel is also pretty awesome, it is super soft and was very comforting while I was sick a few weeks back. I kept getting cold and hot and the flannel was very okay with being put on and off multiple times through out the day. It also kind of reminds me of this blue flannel my dad rock around the house. He would always be cold so rather than bump the heater he wore a thick ass flannel. Warm, thin, soft and fits really nicely. Like I said I should of got a small for the ultimate awesome but the medium is just baggy enough to be a bummy day flanny or an evening walk along the beach flanny. Get some.

Brixton Baby

Brixton always brings the heat sauce. I figured since summer is on it’s way I should get me a hat made of straw, something that can breathe. If you have ever had the pleasure of wearing a brixton stroll in the heat you know you won’t be doing it again soon.

After all things were considered I went ahead and picked up the drifter (runner up the castro) It’s an odd hat, for that reason alone it is my summer hat for 2009.

It’s odd because from the front it looks like I have a big halo floating around my head. From the side it looks like a fedora. Also there are no dips/indents on the bucket part (?) need to brush up on my hat anatomy. The hat has a low profile so no matter how hard you shove it on your head it will always look like it’s sitting on top of your head.

During the process of grabbing a hat stumbled upon a few shirts too. One being a brixton shirt, the other two being shirts by some sunglasses company called sabre. The sabre shirts are so cool I couldn’t find pictures of them online and I’m a lazy turd so you know I ain’t snappin none.

New Head Pieces

Brixton makes some pretty rugged hats. I picked up a few at Emerald City in Coronado. I got two of the same hat but they are made of different fabrics. The first I swooped is the Stroll in grey wool with a Lady Guadalupe lining (Awesome… even more awesome if you like to mainline.)

The second hat I got is also a Stroll but it has a nice grey herringbone pattern twill (silly flyness!) The hats are very solid, even their straw fedoras are pretty hefty. I am impressed and look forward to owning many a hat by these guys.
