This Winter in addition to our usual headwear standby’s such as New Era fitteds, snapbacks, pom hats and beanies we’ll be doing a few new items for this holiday season. First we’re caving-in and making our very first 5-panel. The Cyrillic 5-Panel New Era is made out of the finest melton wool with a leather adjustable strap.  The five panel is assembled in a variety of primary hues ensuring that this tried and true hat was done in a unique yet classic Мишка way, and also comes in a completely tonal black melton version (not pictured) as well.

In addition to the above headwear classic, we got together with New Era on some custom silhouettes of other classic caps just for us. the first of which is the Gein Hunting Cap which is making it’s debut this holiday. We took the classic hunter’s cap complete with corduroy ear-flaps and gave it a modern facelift.

The Gein retains all the aesthetics and functionality of this classic hunting accessory.  Constructed out of a toasty houndstooth and a durable nylon, it can withstand the winter elements yet remain fashionable for the city trendsetter.  And in true hunting tradition, the Gein is exclusively available in black nylon and red houndstooth.

And finally we’re bringing back our flagship MiG Aviator New Era. This cap, inspired by mid century Soviet air-force uniforms anchors the new holiday hat collection. We’ve re-imagined a seasonal classic with a hardier and heavier material for the winter weather while retaining the characteristic lines common on standard issue aeronautical hats.

Subtly branded and fully lined with sherpa, the cap is perfect for those bitter, cold Winter months. The MiG Aviator is available in a grey houndstooth and black tweed. Stay tuned for more Holiday previews in the next couple of weeks leading up to our Holiday ’09 lookbook and of course the collection’s debut in-store and online!
