Discount Frank Sinatra Headwear Diamond Crown Classic Fedora FS4

Customer Ratings:

I'm not exactly a Sinatra wannabe. That would be my father. Still. I really liked Sinatra and remember his movies and music with great fondness. I recently started buying hats suitable for dressier occasions. My Stacy Adams homburg is a little too dressy, however, so I began looking at trilbys.

If you don't already know, trilbys are sort of crushable fedoras but with a lower crown and a narrower brim snapped down in the front but up in the back. They became popular for the wealthier crowd at British race tracks (and possibly the seedier crowd at American ones). Their popularity peaked around 1960 and has declined since. I think hats are coming back into style. We'll see.

I'm generally pleased with this trilby and would rate it at 4.5 stars for quality, five for value. The Sinatra brand has turned out to be better than I expected with respect to materials, design, and construction. I rated my homburg at only four stars.

Here are some more detailed notes:

1. Value. I paid about $55 with shipping. That's a bargain for a well-made, lined fedora-type hat.

2. Material. My homburg is made of hard wool felt that has a somewhat rough texture. This hat is made of soft wool felt with a finer feel to it. While rabbit hair felt is the traditional material for a trilby, I have hats of this material and would be hard pressed to pick that as any better than this. I can't really tell the difference.

3. Lining and finishing. The lining is very nicely done and has a luxuriant look. The band appears to be grosgrain. The sweatband is ample and very supple leather.

4. Construction. The stitching and boxing of the hat are very sound. I can find nothing to fault.

5. Sizing. I wear a medium. The sizing was exact.

6. Style. The styling is correct for a trilby. Although gray would certainly be very stylish, I chose black. The orange trim referred to in the description is on the inside lining. FYI, brown trilbys were the tradition for the British crowd. Because of the narrow brim, the hat appears smaller than I had expected and it will take some adjusting to get the clothing combinations right.

7. NOTE ON THE BRIM: a trilby must be worn with the brim snapped down in front. For shipping, this hat arrived with the front brim up. Snap it down to get the proper look.

I bought this through Headchange on Amazon Marketplace. This company deserves a special note of appreciation. They changed an order slightly to meet my specifications, got the hat to me ahead of the delivery window, gave me a promo code for future purchases, and packed the hat more securely than others I received. These people are serious about doing business.

This hat goes perfectly with my black and white checked sport coat, black pants, white shirt, and skinny black tie. It is 1965 all over again.

I think the quality of the hat is spectacular. The style, very nicely made. The only thing i would want to change is the only size available was extra large, my head isn't that big and would have been better if i could get a large. The shipping was extremely fast.
