Handcrafted Cashmere Crushable Fedora – Laird Hatters | Made in England
Shaped from fine cashmere felt in our English workshop, this fedora carries a softness that deepens with wear. The cashmere is finished with a subtle suede texture — matte, tactile, and quietly refined — while the blocked crown holds a clean, precise line through seasons and travel alike.
Fit & Sizing
This fedora is cut with a trim, close crown — a silhouette true to classic British millinery, sitting higher on the head than a relaxed casual hat. It will soften and ease naturally with wear, gradually moulding to the shape of your head for an increasingly comfortable, personalised fit.
If you prefer a lower, more relaxed sit from the outset, or find yourself between sizes, we recommend sizing up. When in doubt, go larger — a hat that sits well is a hat you'll reach for every day.
On Crushability
This is a structured hat with genuine resilience. Pack it, travel with it, and it will recover — the cashmere felt is robust enough to handle the demands of a well-lived wardrobe. It is not a soft, foldable travel hat; its shape is part of its character. Over time, that structure softens beautifully, becoming more supple without ever losing its form.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cashmere felt fedora?
A cashmere felt fedora is a hat blocked and shaped from cashmere fibre rather than wool or rabbit felt — the result is a notably finer, softer finish with a distinctive matte lustre and excellent natural insulation.
Does a cashmere hat soften with wear?
Yes. Cashmere felt responds to warmth and wear over time, gradually easing to the contours of your head. A new cashmere fedora will feel firmer initially; within several wears it begins to mould and soften for a more personal fit.
What size should I order?
Measure the circumference of your head just above the ears. If you are between sizes, or prefer a hat that sits lower on the head, size up. Our size guide is available on the product page.
Is this fedora suitable for travel?
It is resilient and recovers well from packing. For a fully packable, unstructured travel hat, see our panama and linen styles.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 22 reviews.
From start to finish the thing that stood out most was the customer service from this Company, what service used to be but has been forgotten over the years. Polite, informative and so willing to get things right for you. The hats were well made, exactly as advertised and they even stretched one free of charge. Exceptional. Well done all.
Nice hat.. but wished I'd bought it in the Cambridge shop...get better feed back
Great quality and good price.
Great product + amazing service - was issue with delivery and they couldn’t have been more helpful in resolving
Great purchasing and sizing help from Dani in admin. Greatly appreciated.
Loved it but 55 I found was too tight although my usual hat size Next size up would be too big So returned - prompt refund
Beautiful hat
Beautifully made hat. Arrived in good time looking forward to it becoming part of my story.
Unfortunately too small 61 cm. Next up is a too large 63
This hat was made of a lovely, soft, but strong cashmere. It was very stylish and sophisticated and the size l ordered was an excellent fit. Unfortunately it did not suit me. Having realised this l made a return which was truly the easiest return I've ever made. Within 48 hours l was notified that the hat had been received and it was refunded shortly after. Their service is 5* all around . I would not hesitate using their services again.

Everything I’d hoped: perhaps a bit darker than the photo on your site. Sits well up on the head like a fedora should.
Good hat. Stiffer than expected, but pleased nonetheless
Looks very dapper, keeps the sun off, great fit. What more could you want from a hat 🙂
Very pleased to find such a stylish fed. IN MY SIZE ! Most suppliers fail at a smaller size. Will need a few months of use to assess how robust it is to being ‘crushed’ when not in use but it certainly looks to be

Great hat and thanks to the Laird staff for helping with the size change. Will buy again.
The colour wasn't true to the photo on the website, I wouldn't say full marks for everything else, as village hats pack their hats for transit with more care. I was able to buy what wanted from them at a better price. Sorry, I will stick with village hats for my requirements, thank you
It came a bit tight but could be stretched.
Mark in Jermyn St was fantastic; very patient & understanding, he helped guide me toward a hat that suited me and made sure that it was a perfect fit - couldn't have asked for more!
Very good .
