FLAT CAPS

Flat Caps, Five Point Ivy's, Eight Quarters, Newsboys, Duck Bill Ivy's! Stacks and stacks of Tweeds from Italy! Come check out our largest selection yet. These are just a few of hundreds of caps in stock in the Classic Plaids and Tweeds to the Jazzy with a modern twist.

We are deep in runs from a 55cm-Small to 62cm-XXL in everything!

Here is a peek of a few we have in house!

Ladies: Looking Good When Its Chilly....

SALMAGUNDI Customs Everywhere!

Cloches, brimmed out or tight crowns, caps to fancy cocktails - we custom picked every color combo for these felts and feathers for you to feel fantastic in.

Frank Olive handmade in Brooklyn, NY custom for you and yours. Limited editions arriving weekly to spice it up as it gets chilly.

Behold....

some of the Makins customs...

SALMAGUNDI Customs by MAKINS HATS

Makins Hats are one of the finest on the planet!

We were able to sit with Marsha herself and brought these custom numbers together from scratch. Rooms full of ribbons dating back to the 20's, blocks piled up like stone walls, fur felt bodies in more colors than Benjamin Moore.

We couldn't be happier with the way things turned out. These hats are hand blocked in NYC and there was over 250 crowns to choose from. The Block in the photo was one of our final picks. Not to mention stacks and stacks of brims to match the crown to make that perfect match of modern and classic. The band on two of these hats is FROM the 1930's and we did short runs (that's all the ribbon there was!) - 7 Brown and 7 Blue on those numbers. The Fur Felt is top notch and they are designed by yours truly along side the Coty and Cutty Sark award winner milliner Marsha Akins.

These are some of the finest available right now, so if your that serious with your selection - stop by and take a look. Half are gone already. We also have a few go up to a little under 63cm on these bad boys so even if you have a huge melon your covered!

SALMAGUNDI Custom Made Neckties Have Arrived!

Many hours went by as we hand picked these fabrics!

Custom SALMAGUNDI neck ties handmade in Brooklyn, NY!Dozens of patterns and widths from eras spanning from the 30's to the early 70's.

Bow ties in the house as well - both fat and slim!

All handmade in the USA.

Posts coming shortly of some satisfied customers feeling extra jazzy after scooping up some of these hot styles.
