Golden Gate Hat
Golden Gate Beach Bum
(The Village Hat Shop)
There are cheaper beach hats out there. At $32, this "meaty" raffia straw hat is for the beach bum with a little cash in his pocket. The quality is apparent even though the rough edge creates that dressed-down, pass-me-a-beer look.
Golden Gate Scottsdale
The Scottsdale is made from genuine Panama straw with the hat bodies being hand woven in Ecuador and the hats then blocked and finished in the USA. A wire hidden in the brim allows for the great looking roll and curl.
Golden Gate Cobra
Many consider the Cobra crown style, "The Teardrop", as the true western. The hat is popular throughout the western USA as well as Canada. Also, note the sharp trim.
Golden Gate Dakota
The Dakota has great character. Note that the front of the crown (4") is lower than the back of the crown (5") reminiscent of hats worn by old, 1930s era, movie cowboys (remember Tom Mix or Gus?).
Golden Gate Jaguar
Golden Gate crushable wool felts are simply a notch up from the rest of the field. The design and trimming differences are again articulated in the Jaguar. Like all of GG's crushable felts, this hat is soft, pliable and 100% virgin wool felt made in the USA.
Golden Gate Broadway
Here is a hot style! -- and the newest release from Golden Gate. The stingy brim is usually worn up these days, but the snap-brim feature does give the wearer the option to turn the front of the brim down. The hat is 100% wool felt and made in the USA.
