The derby is a classic hat style that bridges casual and formal wear, remaining a staple of men’s fashion from the 19th century into the early 20th century. This high crown version offers a warm-weather alternative to traditional felt derbies while preserving the recognizable silhouette and proportions of the style. Woven from fine palm, the hat features a structured crown and brim designed for lightweight comfort. When exposed to moisture, the palm construction allows for limited reshaping, though dry conditions are recommended to maintain its form. The brim measures approximately 2.5 inches, and the crown height measures approximately 5.5 inches. Imported Show more
