The Great Gatsby hats by Miller Hats

The famous Miller Great Gatsby Hat collection is inspired by the 2013 romantic drama film.  The film is based on the 1925 Novel The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald.  The novel is set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, near New York City, the novel depicts first person narrator Nick Carraway’s interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby’s obsession to reunite with his former lover Daisy Buchanan.    

The Great Gatsby film was set in the 1920’s era.  The characters all wore 1920’s fashion, the men wore tailcoat tuxedos and underneath a white wingtip collar shirt.  To match the tuxedos they wore a top hat, a bow tie, a walking stick or a pocket watch.  The trousers were high waisted and they wore double breasted vests with a single breasted jacket.   1920’s fashionable suits were worn with Boater Hats, derby hats and wide brim fedoras.   The most informal style of hat worn at the time was the newsboy flat cap.   

The main characters, Jay Gatsby(Leonardo DiCaprio), Nick Caraway (Tobey Maquire) and Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton)  wore boater hats with a variety of colorful patterns.  But many of the additional characters wore fedoras in straw or felt, newsboy caps and flat caps.  The relevance of the main characters wearing hats in the 1920’s is primarily due to the fact that hats were a must.   In that time and era - men did not leave the house without  wearing a head covering.   

Miller Hats Great Gatsby hat Collection includes top of the line genuine fur felt hats and a wool hat.  If you are getting ready to attend a Great Gastby theme party or if you need 1920’s men’s hats visit our online catalog or store front.  Many styles, colors and sizes available and ready to ship.

Miller Dress Hats - Homburg Hats, Derby Hats, Fedoras

Miller Fedora Hats

The Fedora is a hat with a soft material, a snap brim and indented crown.  We can shape Fedora hats in a variety of crowns, but the most typical ones being a “teardrop” or a “centerdent”. Crown heights will vary depending on the style anywhere between 4” and 4 ⅝”. Brims will run anywhere between 2 ½ to 3”. Fedora hats can have brims that have a raw edge, bound edge (trim around the edge), or underwelt or upper welt.  We can make Fedora hats of wool, cashmere, genuine fur felt, and beaver felt. The Miller Fedora hats come with satin liners, leather sweatbands, and top of the line grosgrain bands.    

The name Fedora originally came from a dramatic play written in 1882 by playwright Victorien Sardou. The play was first performed in the US in 1889. Bernhardt played Princess Fedora Romanov, the heroine of the play. In the play she wears a center dent soft brim hat. The hat was fashionable for women, and the women’s rights movement adopted it as a symbol. After Edward Prince of Wales wore them in the 1920s, it became popular among men for its stylishness and its ability to protect the wearer’s head from the wind and weather. 

By the 1920s fedoras got popular, it became a staple of men’s fashion and would be worn in public places. In the 1940s the fedora hats became a significant trend in America. Many films re-popularized the fedora hat in the 1940s, like Humphrey Bogart in the film Casablanca and many others. Movie stars, musicians, political figures would also make the classic fedora popular.    

They often associated fedoras with gangsters during the prohibition era in the U.S. during the 1920s and the early 1950s. In addition, well known gangsters such as Al Capone, Charles Luciano and Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel used the fedora to create a tough-guy image. Fedoras were also an important accessory to the Zoot suit ensemble during the 1940s. As a result, this style soon spread to local jazz and blues musicians, who adopted this look and brought it to their audiences.   

The fedora hats continued to be popular through to later films such as “The Blues Brothers” with John Belushi and Dan Akroyd and, of course, the most famous Fedora of all, Indiana Jones, in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. With the aid of the snap brim on most Fedoras, it served the practical purpose of hiding the face of actors sufficiently to allow doubles to perform the more dangerous stunts on the sets of action movies. However, it is the Film Industry of Hollywood that brought the Fedora to the forefront of fashion.

Homburg Hats by Miller Hats

The homburg hat was popular at the beginning of the 20th Century. It comes with a center crease crown and a rolled bound-edge trim, with a double bow grosgrain hat band.  Unlike the bowler or the top hat, the Homburg was not as firm, but it was a slightly stiffened soft fur felt hat to keep its shape.  Overall, it was an elegant felt hat that was not as formal as the derby hat. But they often wore it when strolling in town or in place of a boater hat.  

Until about 1914, the Homburg hat kept its position on the hat formality scale. The repp band on the brim was sometimes light grey, while the hat band was the same color or darker. Over time, the brim curl diminished, and the crown lost some height.  After WWI, the hat became darker; black homburg hats were the most popular color, especially in the 1950s.  

Former UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill wore the Homburg hat during World War II, they often saw him in London wearing a homburg with a black suit and with formal trousers.  

Dwight D. Eisenhower wore a dark grey homburg hat with a stroller suit for his inauguration on January 20, 1953.  Al Pacino made the homburg very famous by wearing it in the famous film The Godfather, for which reason the hat is often called a “Godfather”.  Many Jazz singers also wore the famous Homburg, musicians such as John Lee Hooker, Duke Ellington, and many preachers of the time.

Nowadays, the homburg hat is worn in many classic films and theatrical performances. They often wore a homburg hat in Kentucky derby events, Great Gatsby parties, or even vintage formal events.

Kangol Baseball Caps

The traditional American baseball cap is a soft cap with a stiff visor, it is typically adjustable at the back thanks to a plastic, velcro or elastic band. They derived the style from earlier brimmed hats popular in the late 19th century, including the famous deerstalker’s cap worn by Sherlock Holmes. 

They made the earliest baseball caps in wool materials and primarily baseball players wore them in the mid too late 19th century. Baseball players were free to wear any type of brimmed hat to keep the sun out of their eyes. Many players wore soft and hard cap styles. Later, in the mid-1940s, the baseball teams provided the players with a baseball cap to wear with the team’s logo.  

Nowadays, the baseball caps are not only worn in the baseball fields. Many wear them as a fashionable statement. Many actors, films, singers and pop culture made the standard baseball cap popular.

Miller Genuine Panama Hats

Miller Genuine Panamas Hats are “The king of all summer hats”, the panama has remained the leader of the Miller Hats line because of its unique combination of smart appearance, lightness, coolness and durability.  The Miller genuine panamas are all hand-woven of “toquilla” fiber and imported from Ecuador and South America.   

Actually, it is said that an Ecuadorian named Francisco Delgado made the first Panama hat woven in the year 1629.  Since then, the weaving of Panama bodies has remained substantially the same - performed by native families who pass their skills on down from generation to generation.  

The tough “toquilla fibers’’ come from the leaves of palm plants.  They wash the shreds before they are rolled and flattened into the form suitable for weaving.  When the shredded leaves are processed and the fibers are in the form desired for weaving, they are sorted and selected according to length, thickness and color.  The more uniform the fibers are for each body, the better the finished hat can be. The finest grade of fibers produces the highest quality hat, not only because fineness of fiber results in fine texture but also because a hat of fine fibers takes considerably more time and effort to weave than a hat of course fibers.  

Nowadays,  the Panama hat brings an elegant boost to any summer outfit. It adds a sense of proper style to those sunny days, providing not only protection from the sun’s rays, but also an additional something like a welcome eccentricity.  The new collections of panama hats are colorful and fashionable. Remember, you get the look you want at Miller Hats!
