black fedora panama

The black fedora panama is a hat with a narrow brim, a creased crown and a silver-grey band with a herringbone pattern. This combination immediately evokes the image of a gangster from an old mafia film: dark, slick and a little menacing. The hat is available for women and men and is perfect for a mafia party or a gangster costume at Carnival.

Crown, brim and band of the fedora

• The hat is entirely black, with a silver-grey band with a herringbone pattern and a small loop on the side.
• The surface has a fine, woven texture reminiscent of a straw hat.
• The crown has a lengthwise crease in the top and two pinches at the front, as you would see on a classic fedora.
• The short brim turns up slightly at the back.
• The material is 100% polyester.
• Do not wash, bleach or iron the hat, do not tumble dry and do not dry clean.
• The fedora is designed for both women and men.

What makes a panama fedora different from a felt gangster hat?

A panama fedora has the woven look of a summer panama hat, while the gangster hat from films is usually made of smooth felt. The shape is the same, however: a creased crown with a short brim, the silhouette you know from mafia bosses and private detectives. Thanks to the woven surface and the light-coloured band, this black hat looks less heavy than a felt model. Choose it if you want to portray a gangster who is more likely to be seen walking around in a summer suit than in a long winter coat.

A recognisable gangster look around the fedora

You recognise a gangster by the overall look, so combine the hat with a white shirt and a dark waistcoat or braces. Men complete the look with a pinstripe suit and a narrow tie, and with a fake cigar or a toy gun everyone will know which role you are playing. Women can wear the fedora beautifully with a sleek bob hairstyle, a black waistcoat over a white blouse and dark red lipstick. The waistcoat, shirt and braces are sold separately, as the package contains only the hat itself.

Order the black fedora panama and make a striking entrance as a gangster at your mafia party or during Carnival.
