A trilby hat (or simply trilby ) is a soft felt men's hat with a narrow brim, a deeply indented crown, and a pinch at the front. Traditionally it was made from rabbit hair felt, but is now sometimes made from other materials, including tweed and wool. Trilbies are softer than Homburg, and have a flexible brim instead of a curved one. Trilbies are similar to fedora, which can be seen as an American version with a wider brim. The hat's name derives from a play based on George du Maurier's 1894 novel Trilby , and one was worn in the first London production of the stage adaptation.
