Its primary use is as a fashion accessory for casual or occasion-based outfits, with online discussions citing applications such as everyday wear and costume ensembles. Some users have noted that wool felt may be less durable and shape-retaining than fur felt alternatives.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/hats-caps-tuques/hats/wesley-fedora--12513-7162?colourId=0","brand":"Brixton","condition":"new","product_category":"women accessories > hats caps tuques > hats","material":"Ribbon: Leather","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/12513/7162/1/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":["https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/12513/7162/1/A2_2.jpg"],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702864374-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/12513/7162/1/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Wesley fedora product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio-style product shot on a white background with soft shadow beneath the hat; image shows the hat centered in the lower half of the frame and is well lit from above.","observations":[{"key":"Background and shadow","kind":"feature","value":"Uniform white studio background with a soft diffuse shadow directly beneath and slightly to the front of the hat.","regions":[{"x":0,"y":0,"width":1,"height":1,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"View angle","kind":"feature","value":"Slightly elevated front/three-quarter view showing both the front pinch and the right-side band detail.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Image quality","kind":"feature","value":"Sharp focus on the hat with even lighting and no visible noise; small lint and fibers visible at brim edges.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"}]},"colors":[{"name":"matte black","part":"felt crown and brim","regions":[{"x":0.12,"y":0.52,"width":0.76,"height":0.36,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Uniform dark black felt with a matte finish and slight nap that catches subtle highlights.","sampled_hex":"#0E0E0E","estimated_hex":"#0A0A0A"},{"name":"black (leather trim)","part":"hatband","regions":[{"x":0.18,"y":0.68,"width":0.64,"height":0.06,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Narrow leather-like band in a slightly less matte black than the felt, appearing as a thin contrasting trim around the crown.","sampled_hex":"#0F0F11","estimated_hex":"#111111"}],"product":{"summary":"Single wide-brim fedora shown from a slightly elevated front/three-quarter angle; shaped crown with center dent and front pinch, smooth felt surface, and a narrow leather-like hatband with a small loop at the side.","observations":[{"key":"Crown shape","kind":"feature","value":"Tapered crown with a visible center dent running front-to-back and a shallow front pinch creating a teardrop-shaped top.","regions":[{"x":0.28,"y":0.52,"width":0.44,"height":0.26,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Brim","kind":"feature","value":"Wide, flat brim with a consistent width and a smooth felt finish, lying nearly horizontal in the image.","regions":[{"x":0.05,"y":0.72,"width":0.9,"height":0.2,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Hatband","kind":"feature","value":"Narrow leather-like band encircling the base of the crown, with a small flat loop or tab visible on the right side of the hat.","regions":[{"x":0.18,"y":0.68,"width":0.64,"height":0.09,"confidence":"high"},{"x":0.72,"y":0.66,"width":0.12,"height":0.1,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Material texture","kind":"feature","value":"Smooth, dense felt surface with slight nap visible in highlights and small lint fibers along the brim edge.","regions":[{"x":0.22,"y":0.56,"width":0.56,"height":0.34,"confidence":"high"}],"evidence_status":"direct"}]},"packaging":{"observations":[]},"schema_version":2,"coordinate_space":{"units":"normalized","origin":"top_left"}},"variant_ids":["2137046","2137047"]},{"id":"img-1784702864374-1","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/12513/7162/1/A2_2.jpg","alt_text":"Wesley fedora product image 2","position":2,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot on a clean white background with soft shadow under the brim.
