Some beautiful headgear at the Selima Hats sale going down through Sunday. At $150 a pop, these pieces ain’t cheap, but — if you luck out with size, shape, and a suitable color — they are capable of transforming your whole style. Sizing and styles are limited. Also expect to find some classic Cutler And Gross frames for $75 each.

Last month, The New York Observer noted (observed?) the rising sartorial sophistication of New York men. As further evidence of this promising trend, the boys over at Complex were just treated to a quick tutorial on “floating chest pieces.”
Contrary to Complex’s description, however, floating chest pieces don’t necessarily represent quality. In fact, they’re quite common in “fused” suits, which use glue (rather than hand stitching) to attach their various components. An interfacing — the fabrics used between the lining and outer fabric of a suit to give it body and shape — is often fused over large sections of its front and chest, while a separate piece held by the shoulder and armhole seams is added.
Friday through Sunday, get to Selima Hats — established last year by eyeglass doyenne Selima Salaun — for 50% off one-of-a-kind fedoras, pork pies, and the like. These puppies will typically set you back $280 to $340. Check out Cool Hunting‘s profile of Selima and her hats here.
