Do you have a han­ker­ing for a hom­burg? Are you bereft of bowlers? Is it time to farewell that fad­ing fedo­ra?

Wellington Hatters in Woodward StFear not: Hank Cubitt is bring­ing his unique sar­to­r­i­al style to Welling­ton’s bare­head­ed mass­es with the new Welling­ton Hat­ters shop in Wood­ward St. And Hank being Hank, he’s not con­tent to just bring you tra­di­tion­al head­wear, so his offer­ings extend to straw top hats, patch­work tweed cheese­cut­ters and feath­ered felt cre­ations that will cer­tain­ly help you stand out among the Lambton Quay crowds. It’s not just for the chaps, either, as he also stocks cha­peaux for the chapettes.

Now, does any­one have any hints on how to keep them on your head in a Welling­ton norther­ly? I once had a very fine Pana­ma that end­ed up some­where near the Chathams.
