A white trilby is a different kind of statement to a white fedora. The trilby's more compact proportions mean the white colour reads as clean and precise rather than dramatically bold, which gives the white trilby a versatility that a white wide-brim hat cannot quite achieve. It works at summer events, garden parties, and the kind of smart-casual outdoor occasions where the fedora would be too much.

Handmade from pure wool felt in white with a short brim, grosgrain ribbon band, and feather detail. Available in sizes 55 to 60cm alongside grey, black, and brown in the classic short-brim trilby range. The white version is the summer and warm-weather choice in the range, working most naturally against cream, navy, and light neutral outfits.

White wool felt does require more careful handling than darker colours, but the handmade construction and premium wool quality mean the hat maintains its clean appearance through consistent wearing without needing constant cleaning or storage precautions beyond keeping it out of direct soil and sustained rain.
