By David Wardenga3 Min Read

Eric Javits men's hats span luxury straw, fine wool, and classic fedoras, each built with the same craftsmanship and material quality as the brand's celebrated women's line. This guide covers the full men's range so you can find the right style for every season and occasion.

The Eric Javits Men's Design Philosophy

The men's collection is built on the same philosophy that defines the brand: premium materials, precise construction, and designs that prioritize both aesthetic and practicality. Unlike many men's hat brands that sacrifice material quality for price, Eric Javits applies the same standards to the men's line as to its fashion week-featured women's hats.

Explore the full range at the Eric Javits men's hat collection.

Men's Straw Hats: SquisheeÂŽ and Natural Weaves

The most popular category in the men's line, straw hats are essential warm-weather pieces for everything from beach days to garden parties to outdoor dining.

  • SquisheeÂŽ Fedoras: The men's SquisheeÂŽ fedora is the definitive travel and beach hat — packable, UPF 50+ certified, lightweight, and structured enough for a smart-casual look. Available in classic natural tones and seasonal colors.
  • Natural straw: Hand-woven natural straw styles for men who prefer the traditional material and aesthetic of fine millinery straw
  • Wide-brim options: For maximum sun coverage on the golf course, beach, or boat

Men's Wool and Felt Hats: Autumn and Winter Essentials

The men's cold-weather range draws on classic hat-making tradition with a contemporary sensibility. Key styles include:

  • Wool felt fedoras: The classic men's hat — structured brim, pinched crown, grosgrain band. Available in charcoal, black, camel, and seasonal colors.
  • Crushable wool styles: Packable enough for travel, structured enough for city wear
  • Flat caps and newsboys: Lower-profile styles for casual urban wear

The men's wool collection is built for the cooler months without compromising on style.

How to Style Men's Hats by Occasion

  • Beach and resort: Wide-brim SquisheeÂŽ fedora + linen shirt + lightweight chinos = the definitive resort look
  • Weekend casual: Natural straw medium-brim + white t-shirt + dark jeans
  • Smart casual: Wool fedora + blazer + tailored trousers
  • Outdoor events (garden parties, sporting events): Straw boater or wide-brim with a striped shirt and navy blazer
  • Urban winter: Wool felt fedora with an overcoat for a classic New York look

Men's Hat Sizing

Most Eric Javits men's hats come in S/M/L or are offered as one-size with an adjustable inner band. Men's styles are typically cut with 1–2 cm more crown room than women's equivalents in the same stated size. For specific sizing, refer to the brand's size guide on each product page.

If you are between sizes, size up — a slightly looser hat is far more comfortable than a tight one, and the inner band can cinch the fit.
