Broner Hat Give-away!
Happy Give-Away Day! We are at it again, hosting another contest, this time giving away one of the many Broner styles that we carry. Hats in the Belfry and Broner Hat and Glove Company have worked together for a very long time. Not only do they make great hats, but they are another one of the great North American Hat Companies founded by a family passionate about hats.
Broner has a long history of American hat manufacturing. They started in business in Detroit Michigan in 1920 when founder, Harry Broner, started selling protective hats, gloves and aprons to Ford auto workers across the street from his home. After the Great Depression in 1933 when auto manufacturers started providing the protective gear for the workers, the business model changed to focus on the industrial manufacturing market and the local retail market. Now, over 78 years later, Broner is located just up the road in Auburn Hills Michigan and is still run by the Broner family.
How to Win: Tell us which of these five Broner hats in your favorite! We will randomly select a winner from all the comments to win the hat they chose as their favorite. We will pick a winner on Friday, July 15th.
Another Way to Win: Go to our Facebook page and comment on your favorite Broner hat for a second chance to win.
Good Vibrations - Natural

Santorini - Black

Worldly Known - Olive

Good Luck! - Shannon

I love the Broner Santorini! In Black it’s such a classic style and that band is very stylish

Would LOVE the Fine Feather…grey is a great neutral color, goes with everything and it would look great styling on my capo at my various summer music gigs. Cool yet very hot, can you dig it? I knew that ‘cha could.
July 12th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
I’ve been known as worldy but the “wordly known” would definitely help make my mark!
July 12th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Definitely the Worldly Known. My grandfather used to wear one exactly like it.
July 12th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
Oh, the Sicily - Black, would be a fine hat… I might even let my son or husband borrow it sometime, should I win!!
July 12th, 2011 at 6:06 pm

July 12th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
I like the fine feather, myself…a grey straw fedora is hard to come by.
July 12th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Because I’m a bonehead and can’t find the comment button on FB…I love the Good Vibrations hat…it would look awesome at the lake instead of my ugly boy baseball cap. And then I’d be able to say, it’s a Broner Hat, of course!
July 12th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Love the Good Vibrations!
July 12th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
I’m loving the Good Vibrations. Great end of summer hat!
July 12th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
i’m confused…fine feather would be fine…lovely..the sicily though…
July 13th, 2011 at 12:05 am
I think I’d have to go with the Worldly Known. Love the fact that it’s a little different by being olive green and seems like it would make for a great summer hat!
July 13th, 2011 at 2:16 pm

July 14th, 2011 at 7:26 am
I really like the Santorini, the Good Vibrations AND the Fine Feather. But due to an unfortunate event (goodbye, pork pie hat!), the Santorini is what I need now.
July 14th, 2011 at 3:45 pm
Most definitely the “Fine Feather - Grey” is the best of breed. Attractive to wear with any clothing style; not too dark, too bright, is just right for anywhere everyday lifestyles.

Nothing says “fine looking man” more than a “fine looking hat” from Hats in the Belfrey. Love the Sicily.

I have my gray Fine Feather beside me here at the office. It’s truly a multipurpose hat, fitting roles from formal to fun.
