Panama Hat Trilby

Description

Panama Hat Trilby

The Trilby is the most refined and understated silhouette in our collection. Where the Fedora has a center crease and the Gambler goes flat and wide, the Trilby takes a different path entirely — a taller, smooth crown with a clean center dent and no top crease. The result is a hat with a quietly modern elegance that works as well with a suit as it does with casual wear.

Handwoven in Montecristi, Ecuador by master artisans using traditional toquilla straw techniques. Each hat is unique — no two are identical.

What Makes the Trilby Special

The defining feature is the taller crown with no crease running along the top — just a clean, smooth surface with a subtle center dent. This gives the Trilby a sleeker, more contemporary look than a classic fedora while keeping the same authentic Panama hat construction underneath. It is particularly well suited to people with longer or narrow oval head shapes, as the taller crown creates natural balance and proportion.

Face Shape Guide

The Trilby is particularly flattering for longer and narrow oval face shapes — the taller crown complements rather than elongates. It also works beautifully for standard oval faces. The clean uncluttered silhouette suits those who prefer a more understated, modern look over a classic structured fedora.

Grade & Brim Options

Available from Sub-Fino (everyday wear, from $130) up to Extra-Fino (heirloom quality, up to $760). Not sure which grade is right for you? Visit our Grades Guide.

Brim widths from 2 inches up to 3.5 inches — a medium brim of 2.6 to 2.9 inches pairs especially well with the Trilby’s taller crown for a balanced, proportional look.
