Here is the Bahama Beach pared down to its smallest, easiest brim, in warm cocoa Safari straw. The character arrives intact – the low telescoped crown, the brim dipping a little front and back, the standing invitation to wear it at an angle that says something about you. What changes is the footprint: this one slips into town, under a restaurant awning, into a convertible, without announcing itself the way its wide-brimmed siblings do. Steinbeck wrote that there is a great deal to be seen in the tilt of a hat; the short brim gives you the tilt without the sweep.
