Men's Summer Fedora

This men's summer fedora follows the short-brim trilby line: a narrow, upturned brim, a woven straw-style body and a band finished with a small feather accent. The supplier lists the material as paper, a common base for lightweight straw-look hats. It belongs with our fedora hats as the compact warm-weather choice.

Band Colors on the Summer Fedora

The options differ mostly in the band. Natural straw comes with a red stripe band, a blue band or a green band; tan straw has a red stripe; brown has a matching brown band; and a mixed straw version carries a green stripe. Red stripes give a regatta feel next to a navy blazer, while plain blue and green are quieter and sit well with linen suits.

Wearing a Short-Brim Fedora in Summer

A trilby sits higher and further forward on the head than a wide-brim hat, so it photographs well at a summer wedding, a jazz brunch or a Gatsby garden party with seersucker or a cream suit. On a weekend away, wear it with a short-sleeve camp-collar shirt and loafers. The short brim shades the forehead more than the neck, so it suits city days better than long beach afternoons.

Men's Fedora FAQ

Is this a fedora or a trilby?

Strictly speaking, a trilby: the brim is shorter and turned up. Many shoppers call both fedoras, which is why it sits here.

What size does it fit?

One size, M, for a head circumference of 56 to 58 cm, about 22 to 22.8 inches.

Is the feather real?

It is a decorative feather accent. The supplier does not say what it is made of, so we make no claim either way.
