So the front looks similar to a fedora/trilby crown as one walks towards, but when i walk away looks just like a bowler
I will be making them in Black Fur Felt ( Grey one was my initial piece, Classic Steed from the Avengers time!).
The Homburg or the Cambridge bowler were the only hats in history, apart from the fedora/trilby that can be worn with overcoat with black tie that look any good. Unfortunately both these styles are not popluar any more.
The "Trilbowler" barndname is a new range of (semi) formal hats by, Ascot Top Hats Ltd. Ideal for "semi-formal" wear for Black-Tie events.
The Grey ( or brown) or even black can also be used for day-wear, not just black-tie. It really is a universal hat that can be worn to work or evening events.
