BELFRY GENNARO

 

Caps

Belfry Gennaro

With its sleek six panel look, the Belfry Gennaro will keep you cool with its 100% silk material, and looking even cooler with its juxtaposed plaid and herringbone patterns. As with all flat caps, you can feel free to put this to use no matter where you are headed, but the paneled look with give you a nice classic edge to dress it up for a nice day out.

Belfry Alfio

Light patterned silk in either beige or rust, if you're a fan of unique touches that will draw the eye, the Belfry Alfio not only bring a fun plaid pattern, but a cork detailed bill. Like all flat caps, these are fantastic for everyday wear, but paired with an appropriate button down and slacks will look just as sharp!



BELFRY ENZO

Stingy Brims & Trilbys

Belfry Enzo

Crafted for us by Sorbatti, the Belfry Enzo is a prime summer stingy brimmed fedora made of woven seagrass–one of our favorite materials due to the natural shift in colors between tans browns and greens. The woven venting in the crown will help keep airflow nice and cool, and this hat looks especially stylish rested further back on the head so the sunny ochre grosgrain trim halos your face. 

Belfry Gianni

With a trendy two-tone body between the raffia crown and paper braid brim, trimmed with a striped grosgrain band, the Gianni keeps you covered either in a nice neutral scheme in its gray option, or a bright berry pop in its bordeaux. Packable, durable, this gem from Guerra 1855 is one not to miss! Take it to the beach, out to dinner, it won't let you down.

***A quick Belfry Cheat in regards to our Italia stingy brims: if your usual size isn't fitting quite right in the Italian sizing and running a bit small, there's a reason for that! A big trend there is to wear the shorter brims popped back on your head for a fun, more casual look. Should you prefer to wear your hats more forward, it's all right to go up a size and then size it down to a comfortable, snug fit with some reducing tape!
