Hat Trick

Goorin Brothers Hats

Yikes. You looked in the mirror this morning and thought you were staring at one of those crazy troll dolls. A bad hair day? Nah … Think of it as a good hat day.

Time to check out the offerings of Goorin Brothers, a San Francisco-based company that’s been rocking since 1895. Their hats combine modern style with just a touch of old-school flair. The array of styles for men and women ranges from classic fedoras and newsboys to shearling-lined and faux fur chapeaux, so they’re great for those wintry days and nights in the city. Planning to hit Tahoe? The sweater-knit beanies are a must-bring. The Velma ski hat even has a cute pom-pom on the top. And should you want to complete the look, Goorin also makes leg warmers, bags, scarves, and gloves.

Just in case you’re having a bad leg or neck day, too.

Available at True, 1415 Haight Street, between Ashbury and Masonic Streets (415-626-2331).
