Trilby Hats

Top Off Your Look With a Men’s Trilby Hat

The name ‘trilby’ originated from a play inspired by George du Maurier’s novel ‘Trilby’. The hat, which made its debut in the show, quickly became known as the ‘Trilby hat’. Historically, trilbies were made from rabbit hair felt, but you’ll find that most of our Danish-designed trilbies are made from wool.

What’s the Difference Between a Trilby & a Fedora?

The trilby is often referred to as a fedora with the main difference being the brim size and the way it’s worn – on the back of the head versus the front. This makes the style factor of a trilby more important than functionality as it doesn’t provide the sun protection of a fedora.

The short brim of a trilby is its most characteristic feature. Think of it more as an accessory than a functional piece of sun protection – like a fedora or a flat cap. The crown of a trilby hat is also short. Similar to a fedora, it has an indentation in the centre with pinches on each side.
