women's cap offered in several different colors (including Passionate Purple) at a "buy-me-all!" price, but the wool is textured and the trim buttons are multi-hued for added tactile and visual interest. That's to take nothing away from The Boiled Wool Cadet, of course, which (although satin-lined) has no buttons on its self-trim above its two-inch brim. However, it's also offered in many shades (I'm particularly partial to the Beauteous Burgundy) and it's a women's cap with a distinctive military style to it.

Scala outdid themselves with their Corduroy Jockey Cap. Compiling a rich fabric, paisley lining and self-trim that boasts an ornamental buckle with the stern silhouette of a riding cap, they've come up with something truly unique in a handful of colors. Another great women's cap for fall is The Knitted Newsboy. This Scala cap has a two-inch brim with buttons at either side. Available in OSFM, the newsboy is offered in four shades including Taupe. If you're looking for something warm and affordable, The Faux Fur Trooper is a Scala winter hat for women that's certain to please. Made from faux suede and fur, this satin-lined hat has matching ties so you can change the style, wearing the earflaps up or down.

When it's a dress hat you need, Scala's got a truly lovely wool cloche for your consideration. With its just-right three-inch brim and pretty black velvet band with bow, you won't believe how easy it is to glam up your look. The wool cloche is offered in three colors: Black, Burgandy or Slate, and at a price that makes generosity (to yourself and to others) an easy virtue! Another cloche by Scala is called The Accordian. The shape of this womens wool hat is indeed accordion-like and its sense of fashion fun will draw all eyes your way. You may have noted that Scala hats for women are all about color -- and their Boiled Wool Cloche is a wonderful, whimsical two-tone hat made from the finest wool trimmed with a wee bow atop its two-inch brim.

Great hats from a great hatmaker at great prices -- shopping for women's hats just doesn't get much better than this!
