Crafted from 100% beaver felt in "Light Moss"
The Monarchos carries a vintage softness that sets it apart.
Weighing 162 grams and blocked on a #57 crown with 5-3/4" open height in a custom oval, its teardrop bash settles to a final 4-1/4" crown height.
The 2-3/4" brim is shaped with a relaxed #17 flange and finished with a bound edge in vintage grosgrain, measuring 9 ligne (just over 5/16"). The crown is trimmed in matching vintage grosgrain, 14 ligne wide, tied in a traditional kickback bow. A pure silk windcord in dark brown with a button covered in the same ribbon adds both function and elegance. Both the binding and ribbon have been delicately sun-faded to achieve a genuine vintage look.
Inside, a vegetable-tanned goatskin leather sweatband is lined with pure silk reeding in a warm copper tone, tied with a stark white bow. The silk liner shines in gold with a King’s Umbrella crest tip—hand-embroidered, evoking heritage craftsmanship rarely seen today.
The Monarchos
Monarchos is a tribute to the 2001 Kentucky Derby champion, remembered for his blazing speed and second-fastest Derby time ever recorded. Like its namesake, this hat is refined yet powerful, cut for those who move with quiet confidence and unshakable stride.
