Clyde Nanaimo Hat

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Clyde Nanaimo Hat envelops you in a cocoon of tactile luxury, rendered in decadent chocolate and cream shearling that feels both artful and utterly sumptuous. With genuine dyed fur sourced from Italy, its plush, high-pile texture references vintage alpine escapes and après-ski nostalgia, but with a distinctly modern New York sensibility—a little playful, a little eccentric, and always sophisticated. Each hat is a soft, sculptural statement that practically begs to be touched, balancing warmth and whimsy in a silhouette that nods to both timeless and contemporary codes.

The Nanaimo drapes elegantly over the head, skimming its 21.98-inch circumference just close enough to stay put, yet relaxed enough to flatter a range of hair textures and lengths. Its one-size approach and substantial shearling give just the right amount of coverage for chilly city strolls or weekend escapes, making it an easy, impactful layer over winter tailoring or slouchy knits. The rich pile provides a built-in barrier against the cold, keeping warmth close, hands free, and hair covered—without fuss.

Clyde’s hats stand out as collector’s pieces thanks to Dani Griffiths’ reverence for heritage craftsmanship balanced with a cool, narrative edge. The Nanaimo Hat, like much of Clyde’s roster, feels like something you’d inherit from a fabulously arty aunt—distinctive enough to transform a look, subtle enough to be your everyday signature. It’s the sort of hat spotted at a gallery opening or downtown coffee run—equal parts practical and iconic in its nonchalant luxury.
