This quilted trapper hat with plush fur (faux, of course) and earflaps has become a staple in the New York woman's winter wardrobe.   But wherever you are, this style works for anyone with a cold, blustery winter ahead of them.  Because when that icy wind comes whipping around the corners of the buildings here in the city, we often see this classic, unfortunate move:  gust of wind hits, hat goes flying, the 20 oz double caff soy latte plunges mercilessly to the sidewalk.  (a moment of silence for the coffee...)   And contrary to popular belief, rarely does a man like Mr. Big stop to help (remember how Carrie and Mr. Big met?).  So keep your 'cool' by buckling the strap under your chin. The plush fur will keep your ears warm, your iPod earphones in and your grace in check.  Add some aviator sunglasses and it's style, function and ecologically friendly. And it goes with everything - especially coffee.

If you were reading up on Fashion Week in this weekend's NY Times, then you may have seen our ad in the Magazine.  It features the Quilted Fur Trapper Hat and the Abstract Metallic Muffler.
