The Chepstow is the hat that Vogue noticed. A medium-brimmed wool felt fedora, it has built a following on the strength of a silhouette that is precise without being severe and distinctive without requiring explanation. It is, in the truest sense, a sought-after hat.
The crown is straight-sided and clean, shaped with a pair of distinctive eyes — the subtle indentations pressed into either side of the crown that give the Chepstow its particular character. The brim is medium in width, its edge cut cleanly without curl or affectation. A grosgrain ribbon band encircles the base of the crown, finished with a bow that sits neatly at the rear.
Made from a fine wool felt, the Chepstow offers the warmth and structure of a serious felt hat at a more accessible price than its fur felt counterpart — the same considered silhouette, the same quality of finish, in a cloth that performs admirably across the cooler months and beyond.
