Description
The Brushed Surface
A wide-brim fedora hat cut in a soft, brushed faux suede, matt to the eye and warm to the touch. It reads gentler and more relaxed than a firm felt, with a little more give in both the surface and the mood. The brushed finish catches the light softly and keeps the whole shape low-key. The palette stays soft across seven shades: ivory, white, camel, teal, pink, red and royal blue.
For Slower Days
A softer take on the shape, made for slower autumn days and easy dressing. Worn over knitwear or under an open coat, it moves from a weekday in town to a weekend away without a second thought. The relaxed surface pairs best with unfussy clothes and muted colour. A comfortable shape for when nothing else needs to be sharp.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a fedora and a trilby?
The difference is mostly in the brim and the crown. A fedora has a wider brim and a taller, pinched crown, which is what gives it presence and makes it easy to wear with a coat. A trilby is smaller all round, with a short, often upturned brim that sits closer to the head. If you want a hat that frames the face and holds its own, the fedora is the one.
How do I wear a fedora without it looking like a costume?
Keep everything else modern and let the hat be the only strong note. Worn with a long coat, with knitwear or even with denim, a fedora reads as part of an outfit rather than a character. The trick is to wear it as you would any other piece, level and unfussy, and to skip the matching props. A clean, contemporary outfit keeps it firmly in the present.
Which fedora shape will suit me?
Most shapes suit most people; it is more about proportion than rules. A wider brim balances a fuller frame and a stronger outfit, while a narrower, neater shape sits well on finer features. A raw or undone edge reads more modern, a ribbon band more classic. Try one level on the brow first, then tipped back a little, and look from the side as well as the front.
How should a fedora sit?
A fedora should sit level across the brow, firm enough to stay put without pressing. As a guide, the band rests just above the ears, with the brim roughly parallel to the ground. For the exact measurements of each hat, see the size guide on its product page. If it feels secure and looks level from the side, it is sitting as it should.
What do I wear a fedora with?
A fedora works best with clean, considered clothes and with the things you already reach for in autumn. A long coat, knitwear, a simple dress or denim all sit well under it. It suits the city day, the country weekend and the cooler occasion, and it tends to look best when the rest of the outfit stays quiet. Let the hat be the one considered piece.
How do I look after and store a structured hat?
Very little is needed. Brush off dust now and then, and lift any marks gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth rather than soaking the hat. Reshape the brim and crown with your hands if they have been knocked, and let the hat rest away from direct heat. Kept on its crown or on a stand, away from anything that might crush the brim, a structured hat holds its shape from one season to the next.
Can both men and women wear these?
Yes. These are wide-brim shapes that suit a range of people, and they are worn comfortably by both men and women. The wider brim has an easy, contemporary feel that reads well on most, while the cleaner, narrower details lean a little more classic. Choose by the shape and the detail you like rather than by who it is meant for.
