The Timeless Elegance of the Trilby Hat

Trilby is a type of hat that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a soft felt hat with a narrow brim and a high crown, typically made of wool or fur felt. The hat is named after the character Trilby O'Farrell, who wore one in the novel "Trilby" by George du Maurier.

The Trilby hat was popularized by the illustrator and cartoonist, Alphonse Mucha, who drew posters featuring the character Trilby wearing the hat. The hat became a fashion icon of the time and was worn by both men and women. It was particularly popular among artists and intellectuals, and was often associated with the Bohemian lifestyle.

The Trilby hat has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, particularly among vintage and retro fashion enthusiasts. It is now available in a wide range of materials and styles, from traditional felt to more modern fabrics like cotton and denim.
