Definition:

The trilby hat uses soft felt material and a narrow brim to complement its sharp intended crown. The materials used to make the hat range from wool, tweed and rabid hair. These elegant hats originated in London.

Notable celebrities and musicians such as Mos Def, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt have made the trilby popular in America’s pop culture. A trilby hat is very similar to a fedora but normally has a slightly shorter brim.
