Popularity and rise of the trilby hat | Just Ask Corp

by admin

The Trilby hat (or often just referred to as a trilby) is a hat worn by men or women which is made from a variety of different materials. Its defining features are its deeply indented crown, a pinch at the front and a flexible narrow brim, this differs from the fedora hat which is very similar but has a much wider brim. Though now more popular with Males, the trilby hat was originally worn by Women, and it is believed this trend began in France. In George Du Mauriers novel “Trilby” Men were featured wearing trilbys, this prompted men to adopt the style which from that point became increasingly popular. The trilby hat’s popularity peaked in the 1920s when it became a favourite amongst aristocratic gentleman wanting to wear something smart at the races. It was seen as being smarter than the flat cap which was often worn by working class men, the trilby hat helped distinguish between the rich noblemen, and the poor working men.
