The black short-brim trilby is the trilby hat at its most urban and direct. Where the grey and brown versions carry their heritage associations gently, the black version wears its intent clearly: this is a hat for city dressing, for evening occasions, and for the person who wants the compact authority of the trilby silhouette in the most versatile colour available.
Handmade from 100% pure wool felt in black with a short brim, grosgrain ribbon band, and feather detail. Available in sizes 55 to 60cm alongside grey, white, and brown. The construction is precise throughout, with the clean edges and consistent felt quality that distinguishes a handmade hat from a machine-produced alternative.
The black wool felt trilby works with a structured black or charcoal overcoat, with leather jackets, with plain suit jackets, and with the full range of smart-casual city outfits where a cap would be too casual and a fedora would be too much. It is the hat that hits the correct register across the widest range of urban contexts.
