The Hielander is that versatile hat that sits right on the fuzzy frontier between a fully fledged Fedora and a Trilby. It’s a hat you can confidently wear in the city as well as in the countryside — the kind of trusty companion you instinctively reach for, knowing it won’t let you down.
With a name evoking the rugged Scottish Highlands (hieland being the Scots word for highland), this is a hat you may well want to rough up a little. A structured yet tapered crown, featuring a centre dent pinched at the sides to form a diamond, gives the Hielander a sturdy composition, while the tight front pinch borrows a touch of dressiness from the Fedora.
This design comfortably allows for some leeway in grosgrain ribbon width without losing its character, something the two-toned hatband knot highlights subtly, without ever feeling over the top.
