The permalux fedora is made of pressed felt and is available in size large or extra large.
This hat style can be used for a variety of characters including the Blues Brothers. These hats are a great choice for directors who are working on "42nd Street", "Guys and Dolls", "Arsenic and Old Lace", "The Sound of Music", "Funny Girl", and more.
Over the years, the brim of this style hat changed from wide to narrow on many different occasions. All shapes work for most of the centuries; however narrow brims are stereotypically linked to the late 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's.
