Stetson hats in raffia, toyo fiber and striped linen: a selection of shapes to wear in the warm months, chosen with the same curatorial logic that guides the whole accessories department at Pier Paolo Marotta. The catalog includes the Diamond Raffia, Trilby Toyo and Texas Linen Stripe models — compact shapes, a natural palette of beige and blue, lightweight construction. No unnecessary decoration: breathable materials, silhouettes that hold up both in casual settings and on travel days.
The selection covers summer hats of various styles, all sharing natural or semi-natural fiber materials and a soft-brim construction.
Raffia is a plant fiber derived from the palm tree of the same name, woven to form a lightweight, breathable crown. TheDiamond Raffiafrom Stetson adopts this fiber in a natural beige colorway, featuring a structured shape and medium brim. It is the sunny-day hat with the most visual character in the catalog: the diamond weave adds texture without adding weight.
Toyo fiber is a semi-synthetic material crafted to simulate straw, offering a smoother surface and more stable shape retention compared to raw raffia. TheTrilby Toyo Beigefeatures a narrow brim turned up at the back and down at the front — the classic trilby geometry — in a solid beige colorway. It is the most versatile shape in the selection: it easily pairs with linen chinos or a lightweight shirt without trying too hard.
TheTexas Linen Stripeis available in striped blue and striped beige colorways. The striped linen fabric delivers a more sartorial feel compared to the straw or toyo versions: the brim is more structured, and the silhouette evokes a summer travel hat. Linen manages high temperatures well and tends to improve with wear over time. The subtle striping balances the crown's volume without feeling overwhelming.
The models in the catalog are divided into silhouette families:
The palette focuses entirely on beige, natural, and blue — no bright colors. It is a consistent choice for a wardrobe built on neutrals and earth tones, easily integrated with the brands in the selection: a blue Texas Linen Stripe pairs directly with a Chesapeake's shirt or Alberto Luti chino trousers.
Raffia is a natural plant fiber with an open-weave craft: extremely lightweight, with visible texture and good ventilation. Toyo fiber is a cellulose-based material crafted to resemble straw, offering a more uniform surface and better long-term shape retention. The Diamond Raffia has a more rustic character; the Trilby Toyo Beige offers a smoother, more stable silhouette.
All models in the catalog — Diamond Raffia, Trilby Toyo Beige, Texas Linen Stripe Blu, and Texas Linen Stripe Beige — are classified asCarry Over, meaning they are not tied to a single season but remain in the product range while stocks last.
Toyo and linen styles pair well with a mid-range wardrobe: lightweight shirts, cotton or linen chinos, loafers, or boat shoes. For compatible references within the store's selection, themen's shoe collectionincludes Sebago loafers and Paraboot models suited for the same season. Raffia can also be worn in more informal settings — beach, countryside, day trips — without losing coherence with the wardrobe.
Raffia and linen hats should be stored in a dry place, away from direct heat sources that could distort the crown. If the hat gets slightly flattened, water vapor (even from a kettle held at a distance) helps restore its shape. Avoid stacking them under other heavy objects.
In Pier Paolo Marotta's catalog, Stetson is featured exclusively in the hats category. For other accessories — belts, bags, wallets — a selection of other brands is available in themen's accessories selection. For heritage clothing, theChesapeake's collectionand that ofRed Wing Shoescomplete the store's selection.
