Next is the Nobis Ivy cap, also molded in unique cut seams and highlighted with elastic sweatbands and inside linings. Finally, step out a bit with their latest Fedora hat edition. If you are looking for a lightweight option, this is it. Made with cotton linen, the hat is surrounded with a pleated contrast band and sheer-cotton lining. Not too much over the top but just enough to get you noticed. Each hat is now available through Nobis online and official dealers worldwide.
