THE PERFECT HAT

For four decades Eric Javits has been a leader in the headwear industry. He is the inventor of Squishee® and is attributed with making hat wearing viable and modern for the 21st century. Because of Eric's early fine arts training as a painter and sculptor, every hat is designed to bring harmony and balance to the face. From a sculptural view point, he was fascinated with the way a hat could transform and flatter a person's appearance. When you try one on, you will see the difference!

THE SQUISHEE® MATERIAL

In the mid 1990's Eric recognized the need for straw hats that could be packed for travel without cracking or losing their shape, so he developed a braid material that resembled natural raffia but which was actually a composite of man-made fibers. He named the material Squishee® because that best described what it could do. Squishee® is a design patented, innovative material, which is lightweight and durable. The density of the weave is ideal for sun protection headwear.
