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.

Our mission was never to become a "heritage brand", it happened organically because of the popularity of many products. Since the beginning, Eric strove to create something valid, authentic and useful; that was the constant in the face of ever changing trends. While innovation and artistry are the brand's greatest assets, we adhere to what is essential, useful and practical. Each season we reassert our desirability with new creations as well as our signature core offerings, which throughout the years, have inspired customers' loyalty to the brand.

Eric Javits hats are made with love; superior craftmanship and a quest for comfort are at the very heart of the brand. We are determined to offer new products that will endure, ones that you can rely on for many years to come. Each design incorporates functional features, making them practical and easy to wear.

WOOL HATS
Wool hats will keep your head comfortably warm throughout the fall-winter months.
Our sustainable wool is shorn from multi use sheep that are cared for on small farms and meet all international regulations for animal welfare. We offer a wide range of shapes ranging from buckets and skimmers to fedoras. Our hand-blocked wool felt is water-repellent and can be brushed off with a soft brush or cleaned with a clean slightly damp cloth. Our soft wool berets or knits beanies can be hand washed with Woolite and towel- dried flat.Harsh chemicals are avoided in the dyeing process; some colors in fact, have no dyes and are the natural color of the animal. All these considerations, including the use of linings made of recycled fibers, reduce waste and the impact on the environment.We take pride in offering a variety of stylish wool products you can rely on, ones that are made of the highest quality materials and workmanship standards.

LEATHER BAGS
We take pride that the leather used for our bags is sourced from the finest tanneries in Italy, Turkey and Brazil. The luxurious hides are farmed from multi use cows living under human conditions, which either meet or exceed international standards for animal welfare.
Our bags are designed considering all aspects of functionality such as travel, tech devices, multi-use strap options and easy care.
In addition to addressing storage needs, we have prioritized making each style extremely durable and lightweight. All our leather bags are built to last with testing for hardware finishes, leather scratch resistance and stress on stitching. Interlinings and support materials are carefully selected to ensure your bag will remain resilient and not lose its shape with years of wear
