Derby Hat Cream Trilby Fedora Stetson Jazz Bogart Mens Adult Costume Accessory

Remember those close ups of Humphrey Bogart, standing in the rain on a street corner, watching the house opposite? The rain was pelting down on his hat and trench coat. But he wasn’t getting wet. It’s an oddly liberating experience when you first where a proper hat in the rain, and everyone around you is either clashing umbrellas or scampering for cover. A hat keeps you dry, warm from the cold and can hide the fact that you are losing your hair, so why not sport a smart one like the Trilby? 

A trilby is a narrow-brimmed type of hat. The trilby was once viewed as the rich man's favoured hat; was frequently seen at the horse races. he London hat company Lock and Co. describes the trilby as having a "shorter brim which is angled down at the front and slightly turned up at the back" versus the fedora's "wider brim which is more level". 

Traditionally it was made from rabbit hair felt, but now is usually made from other materials, such as tweed, straw, wool and wool/nylon blends. The hat reached its zenith of common popularity in the 1960s;

Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau wore a Herbert Johnson trilby in Blake Edwards's A Shot in the Dark (1964), the second of his Pink Panther series; the felt trilby giving way to a tweed one in later films.Trilbys are extremely fashionable today. Clint Eastwood wore a high-crowned cotton twill trilby in White Hunter Black Heart.
