Sporting a rich gunmetal grey, crisp diamond crown, and a smooth flowing snap brim. The Ironside took a long while to get right - capturing the soft, rich grey of old felt hats and offering a complex dark hat to our line. Whenever people come into our store and go straight to this hat, I know they are either from Melbourne, or New York. Chic, simple, rich and warm. A perfect alternative to the less than flattering black hats that men always crave.

I love black hats, but in summer they are too hot. This perfect little gem is just the ticket - thanks Oska - you rock!

A fantastic hat
I'd been waiting for this Panama to come back into stock and I'm glad I did. The Ironside trilby is probably my favourite hat of 9. It's a really high quality item which lends itself to some of my darker outfits that a natural or bleached Panama aren't quite right. Although it's a dark colour, the breeze runs through it beautifully, keeping it cool even in 30°.The colour on the site is exactly what to expect.
Oska is a pleasure to deal with and is happy to answer any questions you may have. Also the spacers he provides work really well: I have 1 in my size 57 hat which makes it a perfect comfortable fit, which will allow for that bit of shrinkage without feeling it is even there.
Delivery was surprisingly prompt considering it is was down under to UK.
