Bowler or Derby?

The names describe the same hat: created in England in 1849 for gamekeepers who needed a hard, close hat that would not be knocked off by branches, it became the bowler in Britain and the derby in America. Its stiff felt shell, dome crown and curled brim make it the most formal hat in this group after the top hat, and it is still worn for city formality, performance and period dress.

Buying Felt Dress Hats

Felt quality decides price and life: fur felt sheds weather and holds shape for decades, wool felt costs less and serves occasional wear. Fit must be exact on a hard hat - measure carefully and use the size chart, since a bowler cannot be worn loosely. The stores here group bowlers with fedoras and top hats so a shopper can compare formality levels in one place.
