Product Overview
The Beechfield BC720 Festival Trilby represents a sophisticated yet functional choice for businesses looking to enhance their summer uniform or event attire.

- The unisex styling provides a universal fit, simplifying the procurement process for diverse workforces.
Design & Performance
Engineered for comfort during prolonged wear, the BC720 utilises paper straw for its primary structure. This material is exceptionally lightweight, reducing neck fatigue when worn throughout a full working day. The inclusion of a 100% polyester sweatband is a deliberate design choice to ensure that the hat remains secure and comfortable, even in demanding event conditions.
The trilby is available in two size ranges, S/M and L/XL, allowing for a more tailored fit compared to 'one size fits all' options. As a handmade item, it possesses a structural quality that holds its shape well, ensuring your team maintains a sharp, professional appearance from the start of the event until the finish.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Beechfield Festival Trilby is well-suited for both print and embroidery, though each serves a different strategic purpose. For a traditional, high-end professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. This method is perfect for reproducing company logos or staff names with a textured, durable finish that conveys authority.
Alternatively, printing is an excellent choice for large, vibrant event designs or bold branding that needs to be visible from a distance. Our experienced in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring your customisation is applied with technical precision to this delicate handmade straw fabric.
Use Cases
This trilby is primarily designed for the hospitality and events sectors. It is an ideal addition to uniforms for summer festivals, outdoor corporate functions, or boutique hotel staff. It also serves as an excellent promotional item for brands looking to provide high-quality, branded headwear that customers will actually want to wear.

Practical Advice
When selecting sizes for a large team, we recommend a mix of both S/M and L/XL to accommodate different head shapes. Because this is a lightweight straw product, it should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its structure. If your team will be active, the internal polyester sweatband provides the necessary grip to keep the hat in place without the need for additional adjustment.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and structural integrity of your handmade trilby, careful handling is required. Straw is a natural-style material that can lose its shape if subjected to moisture or improper storage.
We advise against traditional domestic washing or immersion in water. Moisture can cause the paper straw to swell or warp, which will permanently damage the silhouette of the hat and may cause the custom embroidery or print to distort.
The internal polyester sweatband should be kept clean to ensure continued comfort. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic fibres of the band and potentially discolour the paper straw exterior.
