A LEGACY IN MOTION

For as long as I can remember, hats have been an extension of my personal style. Whether dressed for an occasion or moving through the simplicity of everyday life, a fedora has always felt like the finishing expression of who I am. There is something transformative about putting on a hat. It evokes confidence, individuality, and an unmistakable sense of presence. For me, it has always been about more than what I wear. It is about how I feel.

Born from the creative foundation of its sister brand, The Chokhold, forth + WAYNE emerged from a desire to translate that same spirit of bold self-expression into a more refined expression of timeless luxury.

The name itself carries intention. “forth” represents forward movement — a continuous evolution toward something greater, without losing sight of where we began. “WAYNE” honors my brother, Johnathan Wayne, carrying his name forward through a brand rooted in legacy, purpose, and enduring style.

Each forth + WAYNE design begins with a vision. Personally designed and brought to life through production partners in different parts of the world, every silhouette is considered, every detail intentional. From proportion and structure to texture and finish, nothing is without purpose.

Our fedoras are created for individuals who understand that personal style is not dictated by trends or defined by occasions. They are for those who appreciate thoughtful design, effortless versatility, and the quiet confidence of knowing exactly who they are. Worn with tailored sophistication or understated ease, each piece becomes an extension of the person wearing it.

forth + WAYNE is more than headwear. It is a reflection of individuality, an appreciation for timeless elegance, and a commitment to moving forward with intention.

Timeless by design. Unmistakable by presence.
