Brown Felt Fedora

Our brown felt fedora is the relaxed sibling in the family, the hat you reach for when the outfit is tweed, corduroy or a waistcoat with rolled sleeves. Brown softens the formal edge of a fedora and suits daytime events, from an autumn barn wedding to a vintage car show.

Pairing a Brown Fedora With Tweed and Earth Tones

Brown felt sits naturally next to herringbone jackets, tan trousers, cream shirts and brown brogues. For a swing dance night, try it with high-waisted trousers, braces and a knit tie. On women it works with a camel coat, a short bob and dark lipstick for a speakeasy-themed evening. The band carries a small feather accent; its color is not specified, so check the photos.

Brown Felt Fedora Fit and Fabric

Sizes are L (56-58 cm) and XL (58-60 cm). The felt is listed as mostly cotton with about a third polyester, which keeps the weight down when you wear it all afternoon. It is not shaped from hatter's felt, so avoid downpours and let it air-dry if it gets damp. See the other colors in our fedora hats.

Brown Fedora FAQ

How should a fedora sit on the head?

The brim should rest about a finger's width above the eyebrows, level or tipped slightly forward. If it slides down to your ears, size down; if it perches on top, size up.

Can I wear a brown fedora with a black suit?

It works, but it reads casual. Brown is happiest with navy, gray, olive and tan; keep the black version for black suits.

Is it warm enough for winter?

The supplier tags it for all seasons. It covers the head but is a light cotton-polyester felt, so on cold days it is a style piece rather than insulation.
