The Ironside Fedora is your strongest dark hat—bold, crisp, and deeply refined. With its sharp 7cm brim, clean 9cm crown, and rich charcoal-toned straw, this hat doesn’t fade into the background—it anchors the look. It’s perfect for structured outfits, evening wear, cooler complexions, and anyone who feels best in shadows, not spotlights.
The Ironside is woven with intention and finished with quiet precision — every line is exact, and every proportion is considered. It’s a dark hat, but never heavy. A statement, but never loud. This is elegance with edge — tailored, timeless, and ready for anything.
✦ Key Features
7cm Sharp Brim Crisp edge and subtle curve provide structure, shade, and impact without overwhelming.
9cm Tapered Crown Clean centre dent or teardrop shaping. Classic, masculine, and confidently minimalist.
Charcoal-Dyed Toquilla Straw Deep, rich, and slightly matte — more dimensional than black, less flat than grey. Flattering on most skin tones, especially fair, olive, and silver-haired wearers.
Lightweight, Breathable, and Cool Woven in Ecuador from genuine toquilla straw. Perfect for warm evenings, sharp tailoring, and dark summer palettes.
Hand-Finished in Our Atelier Trimmed in tonal grosgrain or subtle contrast — always elegant, never overstated.
✦ Why It Works
The Ironside is about precision. It’s for people who love minimalism, monochrome, and meaningful design. It pairs perfectly with black linen, natural fibres, tailored suits, or a crisp shirt. It works with silver jewellery, leather sandals, and a still gaze.
This hat doesn’t try to catch the eye — it holds it. It’s your hat for dinners, galleries, rooftops, late-night walks, weddings, and quiet power.
✦ Ideal For:
Those who look better in dark tones than light tones
Lovers of minimalism, precision, and beautiful tailoring

I've had this hat since 2015
I purchased it while in Honolulu, and while it has lightened by the sun, it is my favorite hat. I get compliments every time I wear it. I want another!

Go dark for a lark!
I love my Ironside Fedora! The craftsmanship is so impressive and the color is gorgeous! Light, comfortable and very stylish. The dark color will help you stand out from all the light colored summer hats out there and the enamel hat pin is a classy accessory. Love it!

From Grey to Gray
I transitioned for this masculine and exquisite gray straw fedora for summer from a grey flat cap for winter. It distinguishes from the natural colored. Be prepared to wholeheartedly accept compliments with a single nod and a confident "Thank you."

Finally have a summer hat I love
Usually, I wear felt hats all year, which can get bloody hot in summer. You are lifesavers - thank you. Amazing hat.
