A '''trilby''' is a narrow-[[brimmed]] type of [[hat]]. The trilby was once viewed as the rich man's favored hat; it is sometimes called the "brown trilby" in [[UK|Britain]]<ref name="roetzel">[[Bernhard Roetzel|Roetzel, Bernhard]] (1999). ''Gentleman's Guide to Grooming and Style''. Barnes & Noble.</ref> and was frequently seen at the horse races. 

The traditional [[London]] hat company [[James Lock & Co.|Lock and Co.]] describes the trilby as having a "shorter brim which is angled down at the front and slightly turned up at the back" compared to the [[fedora]]'s "wider brim which is more level". The trilby also has a slightly shorter crown than a typical fedora design.<ref>{{cite book
