The Trilby hat is named after the female heroine in an 1889 melodrama of the same name by George du Maurier
A Trilby is a man’s soft felt hat, closely related to the larger fedora style, with a low, indented crown, and a neat ribbon as a trimming.
Frank Sinatra, American idol and singer wore his Trilby ‘his way’. A Pork Pie Trilby worn on the back of his head that represented his image of easy-going heartthrob, which helped sell his records all over the world. Today’s artists such as Will Young, Van Morrison and Robbie Williams, carry on this tradition.
A very personal hat, comfortable and protective against the rain.
