First introduced in England during the early 1850s, the bowler—also known in America as the derby—became one of the most recognizable styles of 19th-century headwear. Its practical design and clean silhouette helped it remain popular well into the early 20th century.
This high-quality derby hat is constructed from wool felt and features a fully lined interior with a leather sweatband for comfort and durability. Its classic proportions make it well suited for period and historical attire.
The brim measures approximately 2 inches, and the crown height measures approximately 4 inches.
