Boasting a woven tie band, with tie-like geometric pattern, this sweet chic fedora's ribbon is topped off with an aviation themed tip sticker. Its classic side pin, pinched top, and one-and-three-quarter-inch brim make for a clean, hot take on a true representation of this true topper.
So, whether you're on the hunt for the perfect sun hat for the beach, extra hip city topper, or western-inspired casual cap, you're definitely in luck when it comes to this ultra hip trend. Take this style and really put your personal take on it!
