Good hatitude

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.
