Note: The Salton is a bandless hat. Feel free to wear it without a band, or add your own flair to it. It's great hat to make your own.
DESCRIPTION
There can be beauty in isolation, in barrenness, and — yes — even in loss.
The Salton Sea in Southern California is dying. The lake no longer has a supply of fresh water, and it's slowly shrinking. Tourism, once a major draw to the area, is now nearly nonexistent.
And yet, it can be breathtakingly beautiful — albeit in a desolate kind of way.
Oftentimes, it's our scars that make us desirable. Our flaws. The reminders of lessons learned, battles fought and relationships distant in the rear-view mirror.
Our Salton isn't broken, scarred or dying, but like its namesake, its beauty is found in the absence of prominent features. In the plainness, simplicity and uncomplicated nature of its shape. Even in the raw potential it holds.
MATERIALS
As an open crown hat, the Salton has no creases, pinches or dents. It can be worn as is — round — or you can try your hand at shaping it yourself. Either way, the Australian wool is easy to clean and will hold up for years if it's treated well.
SPECS
Brim: 3" Crown: 5"
HAT SIZE CHART
Side note: This hat fits true to size.
All sizes are measured in centimeters circumference.
The Salton Open Crown is just what I was looking for to distinguish itself from my other traditional felt fedora’s. I like traditional, don’t misunderstand, but every once in a while you gotta go Clint Eastwood…or such.
With this hat you’re not messing with crown pinch, bend of brim…nothing of the sort…it’s designed to leave both alone, domed for the crown, brim straight all about the circumstance, and it’s perfect right out of the box.
Adhesive sizing tapes are included for custom size fit, which is appreciated.
The felt is substantial, clean to the touch, stone color perfect for black, grey, etc, colder weather clothes pairing. That’s not to say I wouldn’t pass on buying an unavailable dark chocolate brown option, but it’s nice departure from my green and tan hats.
It comes without hat band, so I bought both black grosgrain and gray triple cord, each a handsome addition.
This is a well designed and executed hat. Add more color options and it’s popularity will just grow.
