The Crème Brûlée Fedora is a masterclass in understated richness—elegant, structured, and quietly radiant. Woven from toquilla straw dyed in a warm, creamy tone with subtle golden flecking, it evokes the surface of its namesake: smooth, luminous, and just a little toasted. With a 6cm sharp brim and a clean 9cm crown, this hat adds sophistication without effort and polish without pretence.
It’s especially flattering on olive and golden skin, where the soft warmth of the straw reflects onto the face and brings a subtle glow and clarity. Wear this hat when you want to be remembered for your presence, not your volume.
✦ Key Features
6cm Structured Brim Crisp, refined, and perfectly proportioned, it gives shade and shape without feeling oversized. Its clean lines elevate any outfit.
9cm Tapered Crown Classic Truffaux shaping — structured, balanced, and flattering across most face shapes. Adds height without heaviness.
Crème-Dyed Toquilla Straw A rich natural tone, softly golden and warmer than ivory, the slight variation in the weave adds depth and life, flattering, not flat. It is a delicious combination of caramel dots sprinkled over a creamy vanilla base, dressed with a rich chocolate ribbon.
Handwoven & Lightweight Made from Ecuadorian toquilla straw — breathable, cool, and designed for long, sunny days or late dinners on terraces.
Tailored Finishing Trimmed in an elegant deep umber grosgrain band for warmth and simplicity.
✦ Why It Works
The Crème Brûlée Fedora combines sharp tailoring with organic warmth. It’s a rare balance — formal enough to wear with suits or crisp linen, but soft and natural enough for relaxed holiday wear. It flatters the face, warms the skin, and adds quiet confidence to whatever you’re wearing.
It’s ideal for people who want a light-coloured hat with structure and character, without tipping into stark whites or flashy contrast.
✦ Ideal For:
Men and women with olive or fair complexions who suit warm neutrals
Travel, city walking, garden parties, rooftop drinks, and afternoon affairs
Absolutely love my Creme Brulee Panama hat I got a few weeks ago! Thank you Oska for an amazing experience.

Such a wonderful experience!
I have reached out to a number of hatters in the past and Truffaux have been the most engaging, passionate, knowledgable and stylistically aware by miles. Panama hats are a beast onto themselves and I have found no better vendor/maker. There are many clear and educational articles on the website. Oska really knows his hats and how to fit them, offering so much advice and professional wisdom, with a keen eye for what suits who and why. I love my hat and am extremely happy with its handmade quality, personality and style.
