Captain Starlight Trilby
Part Gentleman, Part Outlaw, All Style
The Captain Starlight Trilby is pure character — short-brimmed, sharp-crowned, and laced with legend. Inspired by bushrangers, gamblers, and midnight wanderers, this is a hat with swagger and soul. Its 5cm cut brim and 9cm tailored crown carries just the right amount of trouble, tempered by charm—extensively vented, semi-transparent, extremely strong, and light.
Dyed in deep starlit tones it walks the line between dressed and wild, heritage and rebellion. It’s the trilby you wear when you want to walk in slow, tip it just so, and leave when the story’s getting good.
✦ Key Features
5cm Trilby Brim Short, sculpted, and sharp — turns up in the back and slices forward at the brow—pure attitude with structure.
9cm Tapered Crown Crisp and elegant. A classic fedora-style shape refined into a compact, confident form.
Deep Dyed Straw Rich toquilla straw in dark, earthy tones — deep navy, dusty bronze, or moonlit grey. Wears in like a favourite leather boot.
Lightweight & Built for Adventure Handwoven in Ecuador, breathable, and made to move. Holds its shape whether you’re on a rooftop or outback.
Finished with Edge Usually trimmed in a black grosgrain band - a nod to the romantic rogue.
✦ Why It Works
The Captain Starlight is for those who travel light but live richly. It adds character without effort, and authority without arrogance. This is a hat with stories in the weave — a companion piece, not a costume.
It’s often worn by musicians, wanderers, stylists, and storytellers — people who carry themselves like a question mark wrapped in charm. The kind of person who knows how to disappear and arrive.
✦ Ideal For:
Smaller heads and sharp features — this shape frames beautifully
Creative professionals, rebels with polish, and modern outlaws
Music festivals, desert sunsets, rooftop bars, late-night trains
Deep-toned wardrobes, black denim, natural leather, and charm
Anyone who lives between the stars and the dust
Available in a natural edge, black grosgrain edge and the wider brim fedora. Please tell me what you like.
