Handmade men's and women's hats from Matakana Millinery

Winter hat styles from Matakana Millinery;
The Trilby hat can be identified by its narrow brim that is turned up in the back and a short crown, which is pinched in the front and indented into a teardrop shape in the centre. The Trilby hat is a style worn by both men and women.
The Fedora - hat has a wider brim which differentiates it from the Trilby hat. The crown traditionally was creased lengthwise and pinched in the front on both sides - like the Classic Fedora. The creasing does not define the hat, however and these days Fedoras can also be creased with teardrop crowns, diamond crowns, center dents, and others. The Fedora hat is worn predominately by men.
The Cloche hat is a women's fitted, bell-shaped hat with a narrow brim. The Cloche style hat from Matakana Millinery has the brim cut away at the back which makes it very easy to wear with large collared coats.
Two styles of women's wide brim hats are available from Matakana Millinery. The Floppy Brim hat is a 1970's inspired hat with a large floppy brim and relatively shallow crown. The Wide Brim women's hat has a deeper crown and a smaller more structured brim than the Floppy Brim hat.
