We're back with more Steel Darts headwear ready to hit stores this coming summer and fall 2009. Steel Darts continues to add momentum behind their brand with tailored fabrics and integral details on various silhouettes. Here's the third post (check Pts 1 & 2) on more pieces SD has in the chamber for 09. Setting it off is SD's Ivy hats, the Hamilton and Becoming. Both hats feature a nice palette of fabrics offered up in cut n sew or a great basic such as black and white plaid. For those of you who can't get enough of cool Fedora hats, Steel Darts stacks plenty. Dubbed Stay Fly, this hat is made in felt with an embroidered, all-over bird pattern and short brim. All hats feature satin linings and SD pins. Any of the three will transform and complete your uniform for the occasion.
