Late Summer and Early Autumn Music Festival

.
We've got info on a few upcoming late summer/early autumn music festivals that have exciting line-ups, but before we get started on that we're going to tell you about a line of headwear that just might make you the coolest person in the festival audience!

Tenth Street Hats
There's no question that hats can be a big benefit at music festivals where it's always a good idea to keep the sun off your head and face. Tenth Street Hats has a line of headwear that will not only keep you cool, they'll make you look cool! Tenth Street Hats have lots of different styles for both men and women, but they specialize in fedoras, including a line designed by fabled guitarist Carlos Santana. Among the Santana-designed fedoras are Quetzal, with a stylized depiction of the colorful bird, the snazzy Luminosity, and Namaste which is festooned with a small feather (there's also a super psychedelic Santana-designed baseball cap on offer.) Otherwise, Tenth Street Hats has a selection of newsboy caps, boaters, pork pie, homburgs and more for men, and fedoras, fisherman, round crown, boaters and safari designs for women. Top of the line materials are used including felt, straw and leather, and most styles offer a choice of colors. And back to keeping the sun off your head; most hats are UPF50+ and also have a waterproof barrier. When your order arrives you'll get a note from your personal fit specialist who'll be on call to help with any questions. Check out the full line of hats here

Now you've got your hat, here's where you can show it off.
