Men's Beach Fedora

This men's beach fedora swaps straw for a plaid fabric, which makes it the hat for the cooler end of a seaside day: a breezy evening on the boardwalk, dinner at a harbor restaurant or a summer jazz night by the water. The brim is short, close to a trilby, and a black band runs around the crown. Plaids include gray glen plaid, charcoal, blue, light gray and brown. Browse straw styles in our fedora hats.

Picking a Plaid for Your Beach Fedora

Gray glen plaid and light gray plaid are the most versatile, with a white linen shirt or a navy polo. Charcoal plaid is the evening choice, sharp with a black tee and dark chinos. Blue plaid looks at home near the water with cream trousers, and brown plaid works with tan and olive for a 1920s seaside outfit with a knit vest.

How the Short Brim Fedora Sits

A short brim keeps the hat compact, with less brim for the wind to catch and less bulk in a crowded bar. Wear it slightly tilted back for a relaxed style, or level for a sharper one. The size is 58 cm around the head.
