Straw Hat Al Capone Black Gangster Hat for Adults

The Al Capone straw hat is a black woven hat with a wide, slightly upturned brim and a creased crown. With it, you instantly create a gangster look from the 1920s and 30s. The hat is intended for adult women and men at a gangster party, mafia party or theme party.

Features of the Al Capone straw hat

• The hat is completely black, including the brim and the crown.
• The weave runs in a herringbone pattern over the crown and the brim.
• The crown is creased on top, like a classic fedora.
• The brim is wide and stitched all around, allowing it to hold its shape.
• The model is unisex and suitable for adults.

How does this straw hat differ from a felt gangster hat?

The difference lies in the material and therefore in the weight and appearance. A felt gangster hat is dense and heavier and looks formal, while this woven hat allows air to pass through and is more comfortable to wear on a warm party evening or a summer outdoor party. If you are going for a sleek, business-like mafia look, then you choose felt. If you want the same silhouette but lighter and airier, then this straw hat is the logical choice. The creased crown with a wide brim belongs to the street scene of Prohibition in Chicago, the period in which the most famous gangster bosses walked around.

How to complete the gangster look

Wear a pinstripe suit or a dark suit and place the hat slightly tilted on your head, that makes the look instantly recognizable. A tie, suspenders and black shoes enhance the whole. If you are going with a group, give everyone the same black hat and vary with the suits, so everyone immediately recognizes you as one gang. A toy violin case or white gloves complete the picture.
