Since 1891, people have been using the term "fedora." The play Fédora by Victorien Sardou, composed for Sarah Bernhardt in 1882, is where the name "fedora" originates. Bernhardt wore a soft-brimmed hat with a center crease throughout the play. In 1924, when Edward, Prince of Wales first wore them, they quickly gained popularity among men for their fashionable appearance and capacity to shield the wearer's head from wind and rain.

A trilby, which often has a pointy, slightly short crown and a short brim tucked up just at the back, is sometimes mistaken for it, but the two forms are distinct. This timeless hat is constructed of leather, wool felt, or straw and can have a wide or short brim.

When it comes to popularity and versatility, Fedora hats remain at the top. With so many materials, designs, and brands to choose from, these hats have evolved to be the most sought-after accessories. Not just worn by men, fedoras are equally popular among women.

Why fedora hats?

Fedora hats are renowned for a variety of different visual features. They often have soft brims that may be snapped up or down to suit the wearer's preference. When looking for new wardrobe additions, we have grown accustomed to the distinctive look that the hat's crown creates when it is normally pinched at the sides and in the front.
