Natural koya chocolate with black band

The natural-coloured fedora with a black band is a natural-coloured fedora with a short brim and a black band with a silver-coloured buckle. Women and men wear it to a mafia party, where a hat like this is the first thing that identifies you as a gangster. The crown has a crease along its length, and the entire hat features ribbing from the top down to the brim.

Band, buckle and ribbing of the fedora

• The hat has a light natural colour that leans towards sand beige.
• A shiny black band runs around the crown, with a silver-coloured buckle on the side.
• The brim is short and runs all around, curving slightly upwards at the back.
• The crown is creased along its length, as is typical of a classic fedora.
• The hat is designed for both women and men.

Why the fedora is associated with gangsters

A fedora is a hat with a creased crown and an all-round brim, and in old gangster films, almost every gang leader wears one. A short brim like the one on this model is closer to a compact trilby than a wide fedora, giving the hat a sleeker and more modern look. The light natural colour creates a clear contrast with the black band, and that contrast also stands out against a dark suit. If you want to stand out among the black hats at a mafia party, this light colour is the right choice.

What should you wear to be recognised as a gangster with this hat?

A gangster look with the fedora is instantly recognisable with a dark pinstripe suit, a white shirt and a narrow black tie that matches the colour of the band. Braces and a prop cigar complete the gang leader look. For women, a black dress with a pearl necklace and gloves works well, with the hat worn slightly tilted on the head. Keep the rest of your outfit dark so that the natural colour of the hat remains the centre of attention.

Get this fedora and walk into the mafia party as the boss of the gang.
