The birth of a legend

What is a trilby?

A trilby or "trilby hat" is a special type of hat, typically made of felt or straw. It is characterised by a narrow brim that is raised at the back and slightly curved down at the front, as well as a high, indented crown. The name comes from the 1894 novel "Trilby" by George du Maurier. Trilbies are closely associated with the music scene, especially jazz, blues and rock, and embody an elegant to artistic style.

How it all began

This classic accessory has been around for over a century. What many don’t know, however, is that the trilby is a variant of the fedora. This hat, which for decades was the trademark of private detectives and villains alike, traces its origins back to the 19th century. And it all began with one woman: Princess Fédora Romanova. This is because the namesake and main character of the “Fédora” play by Victorien Sardou wore a unique hat in said play, which was similar to the fedoras we have today. This trendy hat shape became an indispensable fashion item at the start of the 20th century. It soon replaced the top hat as the most widely worn style and adorned the heads of the Hollywood stars of the 20s, 30s and 40s. Since then, it has experienced a comeback in the world of fashion, especially among celebrities from the music and film industries, e.g. Indiana Jones.

… Actually it’s a trilby

But how did the famous trilby come about? This variant on a fedora was first mentioned at the end of the 19th century in the novel of the same name, “Trilby” by George du Maurier. The play, which was set in London, made the hat famous and it became particularly popular in Great Britain. Thanks to the practical properties of the trilby, it was worn not only by gentlemen, but also by the common man in the countryside. To this day, this hat classic is a popular accessory for young and old, and is especially beloved in the music industry. A trilby guarantees you can make a grand entrance like a Hollywood star!

Special features of the trilby

The trilby is a special hat that has revolutionised the world of headgear. It has a lot of features that make it the king among headgear – and not just because of its crown.

From the crown to the brim

The trademark feature of this high-quality hat is its brim that slopes down slightly at the front and curves up sharply at the back. However, in contrast to the fedora, its brim is somewhat narrower, which makes the trilby more suitable for everyday wear. Another difference between the trilby and its precursor is its crown, which is lower than that of the fedora – at least on most models. This compact hat is often given that special something by a stylish grosgrain ribbon with a bow.

Stylish functionality

The trilby is known not only for its historic fame, but also for its particular functionality. Thanks to its crushable finish, it fits easily into every bag, making it the perfect companion for everyday wear and for travelling. But this foldable hat can do even more. Depending on its materials, it often impresses with its water-repellent properties.

How to style: Hollywood glamour

Despite its glamorous past, this little hat is not only suitable for the red carpet - it also looks great when worn with casual outfits. Everyone can incorporate the Hollywood look of the golden age into their wardrobe.

Colours

The wide variety of colours that a trilby comes in make this elegant accessory the perfect addition to any outfit. In classic colours such as black, blue or white, the rounded hat is a subtle accessory to add to fancy and glamorous outfits. In eye-catching bright colours and patterns such as red, yellow and check, it jazzes up simple outfits in the blink of an eye. A refined grosgrain ribbon decoration also adds an eye-catching touch, which gives the wearer a sense of modern elegance.

Material

The versatility of this stylish accessory also extends to the high-quality materials from which the trilby is made. The choice of the correct material depends on the time of year you wish to wear it.
Because in spring and summer, lightweight, airy materials such as linen, straw or cotton add to the summery look and ensure a refreshing temperature and pleasant level of wearing comfort. The brim also provides shade and ensures sufficient protection from the sun.
The trilby is the ideal headgear in the autumn and winter too. This is because wind and rain do nothing to harm this comfortable all-rounder thanks to weather-resistant materials such as leather, wool or fur felt. A lightweight lining also ensures cosy warmth and provides extra protection from the cold.

Limitless variety

Small, but perfectly formed. The arguments for buying a trilby speak for themselves. However, if you are still not convinced, we advise you to take a look for yourself. Our diverse range with brands such as Stetson, Mayser, Kangol or Seeberger, as well as an extensive and exciting selection of different styles means you are sure to find the right accessory for you.
