Peaking in popularity towards the end of the 19th century, the Derby felt hat offered a midway between the finer formality of the upper-class top hat and the casual functionality of middle class soft felt hats. It was usually worn with suits or overcoats for a timeless and sophisticated effect that is just as prevalent today as ever. In London, the Derby became the traditional headwear of gentlemen and has become something of a British cultural icon.
