Al Capone hat with band

The Al Capone hat with band is a black fedora with a creased crown, a black band around the crown, and a finished brim. It is designed for women and men dressing up as gangsters from the Prohibition era. Wear it to a mafia party, a 1920s party, or during Carnival.

What this black fedora looks like

• The hat is entirely black from the crown to the brim.
• A black band with a slight sheen runs around the crown.
• The crown has a crease on top, like that of a classic fedora.
• A black piping runs along the outside of the brim.
• The hat is suitable for both women and men.
• You will receive only the hat, without a suit or other costume pieces.

How does a fedora differ from a bowler hat?

A fedora has a creased crown and a brim that runs all around, while a bowler hat has a round dome without a crease. In the 1920s and 30s, almost every man in America wore a fedora, and so it became the quintessential gangster hat in films about Al Capone and his contemporaries. If you want to create that mafia look, the crease in the crown is exactly the defining feature. The bowler hat is more suited to an English gentleman than a gangster.

A complete gangster outfit to match the hat

Wear the fedora with a pinstripe suit or a dark suit, with a white shirt and a wide tie or suspenders underneath. A fake cigar and a violin case as a prop complete the Prohibition-era look. Women can combine the hat with a fringed flapper dress or a tailored pantsuit, so that the hat crowns the look of a female mafia boss.

Order this black fedora and create your gangster look at the mafia party or during Carnival.
