The brim is the portion of the hat that projects out around the crown and if large enough, shades the face. A brim can be very wide as on sun hats or very narrow as on most pork pie hats. It can be rolled as on a breton hat, sculpted and firm as on a derby, or unstructured and loose as on a floppy hat.
