Goorin-Second to None!

Dear Fashionistas,

We all know hats were the start of the luxury designer CHANEL fame around 1910.  But there was also someone else carving the way before our fav designer made her way into our hearts.

Goorin Brothers in it’s fourth generation started crafting timeless chapeaus in 1895 and sold their first hat off a horse drawn cart on the cobblestone streets in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

The European inspired hat makers have several designs for men and women including fedoras, baseball caps, knits and cadets.
I just bought a fab dark grey wool fedora with a wide black silk band sprinkled with a fantastic red design! The craftsmanship on this hat is second to none.
Check out Goorin now in Chicago!  1533 N Milwaukee Ave or 3243 N Broadway.

Ta Ta,
Nicki

  2. Hi Julie,
    Thank you for the nice comment regarding my blog.
    To answer your question on how to wear a fedora, just be sure it fits taught on your head so that it does not wiggle. Give it a slight pull to one side for a movie star angle and you are set!

    Ta Ta,
