Eden Hat

What is an Eden hat? This hat style became popular from the 1930s to 1950s. Its name comes from the former British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, who was often seen wearing this type of headwear and was considered a style icon. He particularly favoured a soft, black felt hat with an upturned brim. This hat is closely related to the Homburg and is sometimes referred to as a "Demi-Homburg" because, without a bound edge, it did not look as formal as the original Homburg. As this elegant and appealing hat became more popular, it became known as simply "Eden."

Primarily, this style of hat has proven to be a complement to the dinner jacket, as it harmonises better with it than the bound-edge Homburg.
