Fairbanks Black Trilby

The Fairbanks trilby is one of our signature autumn/winter styles, named after US actor Douglas Fairbanks Junior, who used to live above No. 6.

This well-proportioned hat—the brim is not too wide, and the crown is not too high—will fit almost everyone & looks good on men and women.

The Fairbanks black trilby is the latest addition to our popular and bestselling Fairbanks Collection. Crafted from 100% beaver felt, the hat is soft and smooth to the touch. The shape of this hat is familiar and yet is neither a fedora nor a trilby in the classic style as it sports a trilby standard brim but with the crown tapered more to the head. The hat is embellished with a grosgrain band and bow and a leather internal sweatband. The style bears all the hallmarks of Lock & Co. Hatters; quality, style, longevity, and craftsmanship.

Care

Steam from a household kettle and a hard bristle hat brush will help remove dust and dirt. Brush the hat using short strokes, following the natural direction of the fibre.

Wet hats should be kept away from direct heat and should be dried using a clean, absorbent cloth or sponge.

Felt hats are best stored in a hat box, away from direct sunlight.

Materials

Crafted from 100% beaver felt, the hat is fully lined and comes with a smart grosgrain ribbon and bow and a leather internal sweatband.

Styling & Fitting

The trilby's soft brim allows for a variety of styling options, including completely angled down, turned up, or, most commonly, up in the back and down in the front, creating the elegant and time-honoured "wave" shape.

"This timeless style, in black, will look stunning with a black, grey, navy or pinstripe suit or with a smart casual blazer and trousers". Lock & Co. Stylist.
