trilbys

Short-brimmed felt hats

Trilbys is the plural of trilby, a soft felt hat with a narrow brim and an indented crown.

The style resembles a fedora but with a shorter brim.

Named after the title character in an 1894 novel, the hat became fashionable in Britain and has seen periodic revivals: He collected vintage trilbys.
