Shop the Retro Collection: Timeless Crowns for the Modern Maverick

Style is a process however, class remains constant.  Retro Hat Collection is a return to the elegance and structural beauty of the 1920s. These hats were the defining gangsters of Prohibition and legendary jazz musicians from the 50s, as well as the European icons of the 1960s.

In Coreflex We believe that a hat shouldn't be only a fashion statement, it's a machine. No matter if you're seeking the slick authority that comes with the Fedora or the informal grit of a Flat Cap, our Retro collection adds a bit of historic weight to your contemporary outfit.

The Icons of the Era: Choose Your Decade

Our collection was curated by four of the most powerful silhouettes in male fashion history:

1. The Fedora: The King of Noir ($1920s - 1950s$)

The most powerful sign of strength and intrigue. It is distinguished by its wide hair and a sloping crown. The Fedora was the uniform worn by the Hollywood elite as well as the street-savvy moguls.

• The Style: Pair with a sharp suit for formal elegance or wear boots and a leather jacket to create a slick, cinematic edge.

2. The Flat Cap: The Heritage Workhorse ($1900s - 1960s$)

Also referred to as The Newsboy This cap bridges those in the middle class and upper-crust. It has a low-profile "slouchy" elegance that feels effortless.

• The Style: Style with a wool sweater to create an "Smart-Winter" aesthetic, or jeans that are casual for a laid-back vintage vibe.

3. The Trilby: The Jazz Rebel ($1960s - 1970s$)

Sometimes referred to as often referred to as the "shorter-brimmed cousin" of the Fedora, the Trilby wears the brim sloping to give an aggressive, snarky edge. It was the most favored crown of musicians and the British elite.

• The Style: Pair with a slim-fit shirt and suspenders for the classic mod style.

4. The Bowler: The Gentleman's Standard ($1800s - 1910s$)

A round, hard-felt symbol that oozes "Old-World" British sophistication. It's the most formal of the retro styles created for a man who cherishes tradition over all else.

• The Style: Wear with a three-piece suit for the look with a Victorian-style, high-status style.

Why Retro Reigns Supreme

In the world of disposable fashion, The Legacy Series stands out for three main reasons:

• Universal Flexibility: These hats transition effortlessly to casual, street-style and formal occasions.

• The Celebrity endorsement: From Johnny Depp's Fedora to David Beckham's Flat Cap, the world's fashion icons are still using the silhouettes of these celebrities to anchor their outfits.

• Functional Polish: Beyond the design, these hats offer true protection against the elements, so that you are protected from the sun or in the breeze.

Styling Your Legacy: Pro Tips

• Face Form Symmetry Wide-brimmed Fedoras balance larger faces, whereas short-brimmed trilbys, as well as Flat Caps, are perfect for more compact or round features.

• The Tilt factor Straight-cut hats are formal. A one that is tilted a bit towards the back or side gives a sense of personality and "relaxed" confidence.

• Colour Matching Choose earthy hues (Tan Brown, Grey, and Brown) to wear for everyday wear, as well as Obsidian Black for formal wear or high-contrast formal wear.

Caring for Your Vintage Investment

To ensure that your Retro hat is kept in "factory-fresh" condition:

1. Gentle brush: Utilize a gentle-bristled toothbrush to clean dust off wool or felt models. Always use a brush that is in the same direction.

2. Avoid moisture: While resilient, wool and traditional felt must remain dry. If they are affected by rain, let them air-dry naturally and away from hot temperatures.

3. Proper resting: Never leave your cap on a flat surface at its brim. It should be stored with its crown upside down, or in a stand for hats, to ensure the structure is clean.
