Step into Timeless Elegance with Laird Hatters' Fedora & Trilby Collection
There's something undeniably captivating about wearing a hat that carries stories from the past—a hat that has graced the heads of icons and adventurers alike. At Laird Hatters, we invite you to explore our Fedora & Trilby Collection, where British heritage meets modern sophistication.
The Fedora: A Symbol of Adventure and Mystery
Originating in the 1880s, the Fedora first made waves when famed actress and hatter Sarah Bernhardt donned it in the play Fedora. Initially a statement piece for women, it wasn't long before the Fedora crossed over into men's fashion by the 1920s, becoming a symbol of elegance and intrigue. With its tall crown and broad brim, the Fedora exudes confidence and style. Think Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, the adventurous spirit of Indiana Jones, or the cool sophistication of Don Draper from Mad Men. Wearing a Fedora isn't just about shielding yourself from the elements; it's about embracing a legacy.
The Trilby: The Epitome of British Class
Named after the heroine in George du Maurier's 1894 novel Trilby, this hat took center stage in London after the play adaptation captivated audiences. The Trilby, with its shorter brim and distinctive teardrop crown, offers a contemporary twist on classic headwear. It's been the choice of jazz musicians, artists, and style aficionados who appreciate its understated elegance and versatility.

At Laird Hatters, every Fedora and Trilby is meticulously handcrafted in England. We use only the finest felts and materials, ensuring each hat is not just an accessory but a work of art.
