The Tony pinstripe gangster hat is a black fedora with thin white pinstripes across the crown and brim and a shiny black band. The hat evokes America in the 1920s, with pinstriped mob bosses, smoky clubs and bootleg liquor during Prohibition. For women, it is a quick way to be instantly recognized as a gangster at a mafia party or a 1920s party.

- The gangster hat is designed for women.
How does a gangster hat differ from a regular fedora?
A gangster hat is a fedora, also known as a fedora hat, that gets its character from the pinstripe pattern that was also featured on the suits of the famous mob bosses in the 1920s. A plain black fedora suits many looks, from detective to swing dancer, but therefore says little about your role. The white pinstripe, however, makes the connection to the gangster suit immediately. So choose this pinstripe hat if you want everyone to see that you belong to the mafia as soon as you walk in.
From hat to recognizable mafia look
The gangster hat works best over a white shirt with a narrow black tie, because then the white of the stripes is reflected in your collar. A black blazer or a pinstripe jacket completes the mob boss silhouette. If you want to make it even clearer, add a thin black moustache and wear the hat slightly tilted over one eye. As a woman, you can also choose a suit with a wide tie, or a black 1920s-style dress with a long pearl necklace.
