Clothing "THE BOND" British style Trilby Hat

Inspired by the special English Trilby-style hat worn by Sean Connery in Dr. No, the classic that started the James Bond 007™ Series!

Baron Hats decided to create a hat that symbolizes the essence of the "Bond" style. A hat that transforms anyone who wears it into a suave "shaken but not stirred", Walther PPK wearing gentleman of Class with a capital "C". "The Bond" is such a hat inspired by the one Connery wore when we first saw him in his first outing in Dr. No, and hearing for the first time, the most eloquent action hero you'd ever seen, say, to a ravishingly beautiful Ursula Andress, in a magnificent, confident slightly Scottish accent: "Bond... James Bond" (in fact that line has been chosen as one of the top twenty most famous movies quotes of all time by the American Film Institute).

Baron Hats created a special block to create "The Bond's" famous shape, and uses the original trademark "reflective cross-hatch" grosgrain ribbon for the hatband. It comes in the original color, but since all our hats are hand custom made to order, the hat, and the hatband can be made in virtually any color combination you wish. If you would like it in a different color, simply e-mail Baron Hats.

You can order the hat in 100% Dress Weight Fur Felt, or our Luxurious 200XXX 100% Beaver. Both come with our leather sweatband, silk-satin lining, Lifetime Guarantee, and a Certificate of Authenticity. And, for your extra convenience, Baron Hats even has a special three month FlexPay payment plan at no extra cost (look at the official Baron Hats website for order details).

This is a great gift hat for that "James Bond" in your life, or to give to yourself, since you know damn well you deserve it! For as James Bond himself would teach us over and over again: "live life with the best of everything, or nothing at all!"

The hat is nice looking.
Unfortunately the grosgrain ribbon is about twice as wide as the original hat worn by Sean Connery in Dr. No and From Russia With Love. I believe the original is 12 Ligne and this one looks much wider.
Do you have one closer to the original, like the Christie's Classic Trilby?

Not to worry. This hat is perfect! Noticed another review that was making a thing about the hatband on this great hat from seeing the photo on your site (love your site, by the way)! I bought this hat for my husband, who has always though HE was James Bond, ever since he saw Dr. No as a child. He is one of the great experts on Bond (at least through the one’s before this new creep took over and made them so ugly and dark!). We ordered the hat through the Baron Hat website. Actually the hat we received did have the perfect hatband. It’s a bit thinner than the one pictured and is exactly like the one in Dr. No. We ordered one for our son as well about six months later and it too was perfect, with the right hatband. But better yet, these are handmade and the quality is extraordinary! Believe me if this passes my husband’s “Bond” test, you know it has to be perfect!

Too bad the ribbon is not more accurate. Seems like they could spend more time on the details to get it right. I know it says "inspired by" but why not go all the way.
