Description
An icon of the brand since 1940, the Stratoliner fedora takes its inspiration—and its name—from an aircraft that helped kickstart the golden age of innovation. The same year, Boeing introduced the first-ever commercial airplane with a pressurized cabin. Called the Stratoliner, it was able to reach new altitudes, opening the skies to a whole new breed of traveler. This called for a new breed of hat: The Stratoliner, a sleek, lighter-weight take on the traditional fedora that featured a rakish, angled crown that suggested a man—or a plane—on the move.
The hat would go on to become a go-to for the Rat Packers and Mad Men of the jet set era, and today, it lends classic style to any occasion, with its versatile, streamlined profile and a brim that can look casual and cool when snapped up, or snapped down for a dressed-up and dapper look.
Handwoven from quality Milan (wheat) straw and richly dyed in versatile shades, the Stratoliner Hemp Fedora features a 4 1/4″ teardrop crown and 2 ½” bound edge brim. Its classic warm-weather style is underscored by a subtle grosgrain hatband and special edition airplane hat pin, while a genuine leather sweatband provides a secure, comfortable, all-day fit.
