It looks to be fun casual hat that I would call a Trilby. The demarcation between a Fedora and a Trilby usually sits at the 2" width for the brim. 2" and under is a Trilby over 2" it becomes a Fedora but that is open for discussion or argument. Having a leather sweat is a good sign of better quality as it is hard to say if the hat is felt or wool. Lock & Co is a quality maker that I am not real familiar with so not sure if they made wool hats. I am sure others will chime in with an opinion. If you like the hat then wear it and have fun with it.Hello,
I recently signed up to this site and today had the good fortune to find a nice old hat in a charity shop here in Inverness, Scotland.
I’m just wondering if anyone is able to identify what kind it is? I’m a total newbie and don’t even know if it’s a fedora or a trilby or if it’s a women’s hat or what!
I’ve uploaded some photos to a hosting site.

One thing I’d didn’t take a photo of, the leather sweat band inside was broken and on the inside was a handwritten date of 30/1/68 so I assume it dates from then.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
PS Benromach is my favourite whisky distillery of the moment.
