Fedoras Collection for Men & Women

Conner fedoras are crafted from sustainable materials including cruelty-free Australian wool felt, organic raffia straw, toyo straw, recycled polyester, organic cotton, and natural hemp. Wool felt fedoras offer water resistance and warmth for fall and winter wear, while straw fedoras provide lightweight breathability and natural UV protection for spring and summer. Each material is selected for durability and environmental responsibility—Conner uses organic cotton grown without synthetic pesticides and recycled polyester made from reclaimed plastic bottles.

Choose wool felt fedoras for temperatures below 70°F—they provide insulation, natural water resistance from lanolin in the wool, and hold their shape in light rain. Wool fedoras work for fall, winter, and transitional spring weather. Choose straw fedoras (raffia, toyo, or paper straw) for temperatures above 70°F—they're lightweight, allow airflow through the woven structure, and provide natural UV protection. Straw fedoras are ideal for summer, beach outings, travel, and outdoor events in warm climates.

A fedora has a wider brim (typically 2-4 inches) and a taller crown (4-6 inches tall) with a center crease and pinched front. A trilby is a fedora variation with a shorter, narrower brim (usually under 2 inches) and a more upturned back brim. Conner's fedora collection includes classic fedora styles with medium to wide brims, as well as pork pie fedoras which feature a flat crown top with a telescoped crease.

Yes. Conner Hats is a family-owned business founded by Bill Conner in 1969 in Byron Bay, Australia. His son Will Conner established the Conner Hats brand in 2014 and operates from a solar-powered warehouse in Florida. Each hat is crafted with handmade attention to detail in small-batch production. The brand uses sustainable materials including organic cotton, hemp, recycled polyester from plastic bottles, cruelty-free wool, and natural raffia. Conner sources from suppliers who pay fair wages and practice ethical treatment of employees.

Conner fedoras are warranted to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the hat. If your fedora fails due to a manufacturing defect or faulty materials, Conner will replace it. The warranty covers craftsmanship issues but does not cover normal wear, improper care, or accidental damage.

For wool felt fedoras: Handle by the brim, not the crown. Brush regularly with a soft-bristle brush in a counterclockwise direction to remove dust. If the hat gets wet, let it air dry naturally at room temperature—never use direct heat. Store on a hat stand or upside-down on the crown to preserve brim shape. For straw fedoras: Wipe with a slightly damp cloth to clean. Avoid prolonged moisture exposure, which can warp natural fibers. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Both materials benefit from storage in a hat box when not in use.

Measure your head circumference just above your eyebrows and ears using a flexible tape measure. Match your measurement to Conner's size chart: Small (21.5-22 inches / 54-56 cm), Medium (22-22.75 inches / 56-58 cm), Large (22.75-23.5 inches / 58-60 cm), X-Large (23.5-24.25 inches / 60-62 cm). Many Conner fedora styles include adjustable sizing with interior drawstrings or elastic sweatbands. Fedoras should fit snug but comfortable—they'll conform slightly to your head shape with wear.

Some Conner fedoras are specifically designed as crushable or packable styles, made from flexible wool felt that can be rolled or compressed and will return to shape. Check individual product descriptions for "crushable" or "packable" features. Straw fedoras are generally more fragile and should be packed carefully in a hat box or stuffed with soft materials to maintain shape. Wool felt fedoras with stiffer construction should be carried or packed in rigid hat boxes to avoid permanent creasing.
