Gangster hat Cecila

The Cecila gangster hat is a black fedora with a creased crown, a short brim, and a band in the same leather-look finish.

The most striking feature is the slightly glossy, grained surface, which gives the hat a leather-like appearance. It can be worn by women or men at a mafia party or a 1920s-themed Roaring Twenties party.

How is this black fedora finished?

The black fedora is finished in a single color and style from the crown to the brim.

• The crown, band, and brim are all a uniform black.
• The crown features a lengthwise crease and two pinches at the front.
• The crown is encircled by a band in the same grained leather-look finish, with stitching along the edges.
• The brim is short and runs all around, like a classic fedora.
• The hat is designed for women and men.

Because the band has the same leather-look finish as the rest of the hat, it lacks the contrast of a ribbon and remains entirely black. Choose this hat if you want a subtle, all-black gangster look.

Why the fedora is associated with 1920s gangsters

The fedora was a common men's hat in the 1920s and 1930s, and that is precisely what made it the signature accessory of gangsters from that era. In films about Prohibition in America, gang members wear it low over their eyes, paired with a pinstripe suit. Later, a black hat also became the trademark of musicians in black suits with dark sunglasses, making it just as suitable for a blues outfit.

Creating your mafia look around the Cecila hat

A gangster look is instantly recognizable with a pinstripe suit, or with a dark suit, a white shirt, and a narrow tie. Wear the hat slightly tilted or low on the forehead, like the gang leaders in old films. Women can pair it with a short black dress with fringes or a pantsuit, and a long pearl necklace will create a 1920s atmosphere. With a fake cigar or a violin case as a prop, everyone will know at a glance what role you are playing.
