The C-crown is the trilby variant that most people who have never thought about trilby hat construction will recognise from photographs of artists, musicians, and writers of the mid-twentieth century: the front and back of the brim turned down slightly, the sides pinched upward into a gentle curve that gives the crown a softened, asymmetric character compared to the traditional flat trilby crown.
This brown version is made from 100% wool in a crushable construction with a cotton sweatband and no lining, which keeps the hat lightweight and comfortable for everyday and travel use. The packable nature of the construction means it compresses into a bag and recovers its shape without permanent creasing, making the trilby's compact advantages even more practical.
Brown in the C-crown range works naturally alongside earth-toned and warm-palette outfits: cord jackets, denim, leather boots, and the kind of relaxed but considered wardrobe that the artist and musician aesthetic suggests.
