So as some of you may know I recently picked up a nice vintage trench coat and got it back from the tailor just this week. The winters are pretty mild where I live (Colorado), at least compared to the Montana and Minnesota winters I'm accustomed to, so I'm planning on wearing the trench as a winter coat as much as possible. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/theantiduck/P1060145.jpg
I've got a nice cashmere/wool scarf and some dressy leather gloves, and even an insulating jacket liner for when the temps really drop. But I'm a bit lacking in the dressy hat department. My normal winter hat is a grey Stormy Kromer ( http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...k/P1050991.jpg ) which is great as a casual hat but looks a bit off with the trench coat. I have some other winter hats that are variations on the knit ski cap theme, that don't really seem to work either.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a winter hat that is warm but slightly dressy. Right now I'm looking at this: http://www.tilley.com/The-TW2-Tilley-Winter-Hat.aspx
It's wool felt, slightly Fedora-ish, and has a pull-down ear warmer, which is what I'm looking for. I really can't find much else that meets all my requirements.
P.S. Should I just stick with a knit cap and call it a day? Would wearing a Fedora-ish hat with a trench coat look like I'm trying way too hard?
