The Astrakhans Are In

Cold weather is on the way, and the ASW store received its winter delivery of Astrakhan hats this past week. Made in Canada from the skins of young Persian lambs, the Astrakhan Ambassador is the perfect cold weather dress hat. It looks great with an overcoat and a suit, packs flat for travel and keeps the head warm in subzero temperatures when ordinary fedoras are useless (it was a favorite of Soviet Politburo members fifty years ago and those were men who knew how to dress for cold weather). Don't even think about wearing it unless the temperature is below freezing.

P. S. The Ambassador is worn tilted to one side of the head or the other.
