Note: This hat is one of our most popular styles, but ittends to fitmore shallow than some of our others. If you have a larger head, or like your hats to fit further down on your head, you might prefer theWaterloo. It's a similar shape, but fits a bit deeper.
DESCRIPTION
You might see "Old City" and think that this fine felt fedora hat is about playing checkers in the park, reading the newspaper and catching an early dinner at the Sizzler. While we enjoy a good board game with chums, sports page and steak-'n-shrimp special as much as the next guy, the Old City isn't about that at all.
As a matter of fact, this hat's namesake has more culture, history and depth per square inch than probably any other place on US soil. Like the man that places the Old City on his head, the real magic is behind what you see, told in the stories and etched in the volumes. Can't be faked. Can't be bought on its own. It has to be earned.
No, this hat ain't Vegas. It's Old Town Philly.
MATERIALS
The Old City quarter of Philadelphia hasn't stuck around this long just because. It was built to last, built to mean something. Old City, the hat, was built in a similar way. Made almost entirely by hand with 100% Australian wool, this hat knows that details matter and that what matters most isn't its creation, purchase or even unboxing — it's what comes in the months, years and decades after.
This Old City features athin 3/8" black band, but we also have an Old City that rocks a 1 1/4" golden brown grosgrain band.
I love the hat. The color and the style. The only problem I had is that the size ran a little large for my head. So I asked for some fitters to go inside the band for a tighter fitting.

Love it!
Like the description says, it's larger and shallower than expected. But it is a LOOKER! Nice addition to my collection.

I have both old city fedoras. They’re my favorites of the wool variety. Perfect stiffness.
