Wool Felt English Bowler Derby Hat | Classic Heritage Design for Race Days & BeyondThe Original Derby Hat Built for the Races, Made to Last The bowler hat and the derby race share more than a name. The same hat that became a fixture of British heritage culture has long been the silhouette of choice at race days from Epsom Derby to country meets where dressing correctly is part of the occasion. This is that hat. A Hat With a Specific Origin Story Thomas and William Bowler produced the first example in 1849 for Lock and Co. of London,

and it occupies the highest register of the British hat hierarchy with a clarity that nothing else in the range can match

and burgundy

secure fit

Pink on an athletic baseball cap is the colour that signals personal style rather than sporting function

the right material

Brim Size: Approximately 7cm wide

while the grey base keeps it compatible with essentially every coat and jacket colour in a British or American cold-weather wardrobe

and crushable structure that allows the hat to be packed and transported without a hat box

a shapeable brim that can be adjusted to suit the weather and the occasion

This brown crushable version is made from 100% wool felt with a water-repellent surface

which means the green in this flat cap comes from the same landscape that the fabric itself comes from

This grey herringbone flat cap is made from that fabric
