Hat with glasses from C.P. Company and other brands

If one day a stern Roman stonemaker had not polished an emerald for Emperor Nero, if the Arab Ibn al-Khaytham had not discovered the magnifying glass effect, if the first lenses had not been made in Italy in 1285, and the first motorcycle had not been invented in 1885 , then, in 1886, the first automobile, and in 1903 the first planes of the Wright brothers would not have taken to the skies, the world would never have known about such a fashion trend as a hat with glasses!

Modern hats with glasses are the descendants of heavy leather hats, with massive canned glasses, which were intended for car drivers, motorcyclists, and pilots of the early twentieth century. They are much lighter and more elegant than their predecessors, more diverse in color, shape and materials. Only one detail connects them with the distant past: the presence of glasses.

The model of a cap with glasses, which is based on the shape of a helmet, has changed the least since that time. Its name also remained unchanged: Pilot's Hat, Pilot's Hat, simply Pilot, or Aviator.

In the process of fashion evolution, the design of glasses has been transformed, discarding everything superfluous.And, in the end, only the lenses remained, which became an integral part of the C.P Company knitted hat.

In models of children's knitted hats Deux par Deux and Molo, glasses are present only in the form of a bright pattern, imitating the equipment of a skier.

Interest in the theme of military retro was initiated by Jean-Paul Gaultier, in the autumn-winter 2009 collection. Inspired by the legendary image of the pilot Amelia Earhart, the classic of French fashion shows a great combination of crocodile and suede bomber jackets, pencil skirts, suede boots that fit the leg and Aviator helmets.

In a noble combination of black, gray, and chocolate brown, the image of a self-confident modern woman is born. Hats-helmets with goggles, made of leather and suede, are just the detail that, like a cherry on a cake, completes the composition of the costume, gives the image integrity, creates harmony.

In the fall-winter 2010-2011 collection, Burberry continues the aviation theme and demonstrates pilot jackets, watches, leather over-the-knee boots, bags with metal fittings.

In the same year, Michael Kors showed interest in military style. He presents jackets and raincoats made of worn leather, massive leather bags intercepted by stylish cognac-colored thin straps.

The Givenchy fall-winter show is decorated with black leather aviator jackets, complete with a skinny black dress, or a gade skirt made of leather or velvet. Classic stiletto heels complete the ensemble.

Each of the above images could be successfully supplemented with a pilot's hat, but in its original form, it appears on the catwalk again only in 2012. That's when Yohji Yamamoto presents his militaristic spring-summer 2013 collection at Paris Fashion Week.Unisex and asymmetry - this is the credo of the leading designer of the brand. Khaki sets combined with an Aviator hat create free, relaxed looks. Good straight trousers with pleats at the waist, slightly turned up at the bottom, with various options for a light jacket and boots with high lacing.

In the new season 2016 - 2017, the military style is not losing ground.

Aviator raincoats and sheepskin coats intersperse the procession of hussars in the men's autumn-winter 2016-2017 collection, presented in Paris by Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain.

In the same place, in Paris, Christian Dior shocks the audience with suede bombers dropped from the shoulders of models.

At Milan Fashion Week, Versace, in its autumn-winter collection, shows military uniforms and strict coats.

Thus, once again, the features of a strict military uniform become the concept of the next winter of 2017. And here, as well as possible, the pilot's hat will come in handy.

Today, among trendsetters, such options for hats with glasses are common and popular:

This is a direct analogue of the pilot's helmet. Such a hat tightly fits the head, protects well from rain and wind. She has elongated ears, often, a back, there is a visor. As a rule, leather hats are lined with wool, cotton (or have none), imitation of headphones, decorated with buckles and rivets. The lenses of the glasses are made of durable plastic.

The pilot's leather helmet with pieces of fur is something between a classic helmet and a hat with earflaps. Its hard leather visor is pushed forward, rather than turned up like earflaps. Only the ears are lined with fur.

A hat with pieces of fox fur, decorated with a fox tail on the back of the head, will appeal to informal people and rock fans.

Hat with earflaps is a traditional Russian winter headdress. Unlike the pilot's leather cap, the earflap cap is always fur. Sheepskin, fox, wolf and arctic fox fur are traditional in such models of hats. Fur decorates the visor and ears of the hat. The base (or top) of the earflaps is covered with leather, suede, or a combination of both.

The advantage of a hat with earflaps is that the ears can be worn either loose or gathered at the back of the head, depending on the weather. Models of earflaps in steampunk style are decorated with metal rivets, buckles, embossed leather overlays.

A cap with earflaps with elongated ears, lined with sheepskin, will create the image of a noble polar pilot of the 30s.

A black leather and black sheepskin earflap is an example of the conservative style of the pilot of the 50s.

Its history began back in 1987, when the leading designer of C.P Company, Massimo Osti, had an unusual idea. First, the glasses become one with the hood of the Mille Miglia jacket, which translates as "Thousand Miles". This model was made for the 30th anniversary of the race of the same name, held in Italy from 1927 to 1957. The design of the lenses was based on the shape of the glasses of the special equipment of racing drivers of the beginning of the century.

A little later, lenses appear on knitted transforming hats of various colors and on folding visors of C.P Company baseball caps.

This invention becomes an integral and recognizable part of the brand.

The idea of ​​glasses on the hood was continued by Massimo Osti in the models of jackets of the new clothing line of the Stone Island brand.

The manufacturer of men's clothing LOCATION CLOTHING did not stay away from the topic either. The latest jackets from this well-known brand are equipped not only with lenses, holes for the nose and eyes, but also with an ipod remote control in the sleeve.

One of the elements of steampunk can be called a baseball cap in the style of Aviator. Embossed leather and leather-framed sunglasses create a truly rugged look.

Such a headdress is especially in demand among bikers.

A knitted hat with a pattern in the form of glasses in the forehead area appeared in children's fashion in 2013-2015. with the light hand of the Canadian brand Deux par Deux. For the first time it was presented in the "ski suit" collection.

The main direction of the company Deux par Deux is clothing for the cold. It is popular in the northern regions: Russia, Scandinavia, Canada. Lined with soft fleece, Deux par Deux beanies with goggles will perfectly protect your child's head from cold and wind.

A bright, cheerful print of ski goggles adorns children's hats from the Danish brand MOLO. Their color palette is so diverse that any child will find a cap to their liking here.
