Hat Attack was founded by husband and wife team, Bill and BJ Gedney, in 1981. A few years later, they launched an expanded collection of accessories including bags, belts, cosmetic cases, slippers and cold weather accessories.

Hat Attack has earned a reputation for delivering collections that have a classic sensibility, but always touch on the seasons’ trends through color, fabrication and trim details. Each season, an in-house design staff led by BJ Gedney, creates an original, trend-driven collection of hats and accessories. Bill Gedney and his production team, carefully control the manufacturing process.

In addition to giving a fresh look to classics such as twill crushers, trappers and berets, the Hat Attack design team draws on emerging trends to create hats and accessories that add a contemporary accent to key sportswear and ready-to-wear silhouettes.

Using some of the finest materials, Hat Attack’s signature spring/summer materials include raffia, panama, toyo, sea grass straw, cotton canvas and linen.

In fall/winter, their fabrications include solid and patterned wools; fur, both real and faux, shearling, and novelty knit yarns. The velour and fine fur felts are hand blocked and hand trimmed in their factory in the Bronx, NY.

Scarlett Johansson has collaborated with Neff Headwear to co-design the Neff Hope beanies in efforts to raise awareness and funds for City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading cancer research, treatment and education centers.

Conscious consumerism is definitely something I believe in, and Neff’s platform for giving back seemed like a perfect fit. I helped create this Neff beanie with the hope that every purchase might make a cancer patient feel a bit more comfortable during his/her treatments and look cool and be cozy all the while. The beanies are eco friendly too, so they're nice to the earth as well as the wearer,” says Johansson.

For every Neff “Scarlett” Hope beanie sold, Neff will donate a beanie to a cancer patient currently going through treatment (up to 5,000). Buy one, give one. Each beanie will give comfort to someone who needs it the most.

After the 5,000 beanies have been donated, Neff will then donate 10% of each Neff Hope beanie sale to City of Hope’s cancer research programs (up to $20,000)

Do your part to support the ongoing fight against cancer by getting your very own Neff Hope beanie (available in two styles), sold exclusively at Zappos.com!

We’re starting to get a little sneak peek of fall weather here in Las Vegas, and I couldn’t be more excited to start breaking out my favorite fall accessories!

I’m particularly a big fan of scarves and hats for fall. From bright solids to a boho-tribal print, scarves are a fantastic way to transition your wardrobe into the colder months. A cozy hat or beanie also beats the fall chill, as does a great pair of basic gloves. For cinching in those oversized sweaters and shirt dresses, adding in a fabulous belt finishes off your look perfectly.

What’s your must-have fall accessory?

Made In The Shade: Hats Are A Stylish Travel Essential

sdhatco

Tis’ the season for sun-soaked vacation destinations! With spring and summer comes plenty of travel on the agenda, and that calls for the stylish jet-setter to arm herself with an essential travel accessory: the straw hat!

The straw hat is a great throw-it-on accessory that adds a dose of effortless style. Not to mention, it spares you from having to do your hair when all you want to do get up and take in some sun and sightseeing.

While you’re running around busy airports or exploring new sights and sounds during that summer roadtrip, a straw fedora with a fabric trim, like the San Diego Hat Company Rush Straw Fedora, instantly elevates even the most casual ensembles. Throw it on over a fun romper or your classic tank top and shorts combo. You’ll be soaking up some beachy style in no time.

Speaking of the beach, try a large brimmed straw hat, like the Ultrabraid from San Diego Hat Company. It not only protects your lovely face from the sun, it evokes a dash of old Hollywood glam without all the prep work! Just throw it on over that retro-style one-piece bathing suit, and you’ve got a totally noteworthy beach or poolside look.
