Stetson Lenberg Fedora Woolfelt Suede

See the Stetson collection here

The Fedora hat, a soft-brimmed felt hat with a distinctive indented crown, has a fascinating history that intertwines with fashion, culture, and even politics. Its origins date back to the late 19th century, but its popularity has waxed and waned across decades, often coming to symbolise various subcultures and styles.

 

Stetson

The Fedora first gained recognition in the late 1880s, originating from a French play titled Fédora, written by Victorien Sardou. By the early 20th century, however, the Fedora became particularly popular among urban, middle-class men. Its practical design—providing protection from sun and rain—made it a staple for day-to-day wear.

Its popularity rose significantly during the 1920s and 1930s, aligning with the rise of men’s tailored suits and sharp dressing in cities like New York and Chicago. The hat was also popularised by gangsters and the law enforcement officials who chased them, giving it a stylish, yet dangerous allure.

Today, the Fedora has taken on a variety of cultural meanings, becoming a staple in both formal and alternative styles. It is commonly worn by those looking to add a touch of vintage flair to their wardrobe. 

This is a relaxed version with soft-touch wool suede and upturned brim.

Fitting note:The Lenberg comes up large and we recommend going down a size. Natural Man has a L/59cm head measurement and is wearing a M/57 in this style. Any questions on sizing, please get in touch.

How do I find my hat size?

Take a measuring tape and place it at the back of your head. Next, draw both sides of the tape to the front, just above the ears and over the eyebrows, bringing it together roughly in the middle of your forehead. Please be careful not to pull the tape measure too tight. You can now use a mirror to read off your head circumference.

We recommend rounding up the number you see to the next full centimetre (e.g. round 57.5 cm up to 58 cm).
