British journalist William Norman Ewer had the nickname Trilby because he was known to wear the hat. The central character in Ben Croshaw's adventure game series Days (containing 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes and 6 Days a Sacrifice) is a cat burglar nicknamed Trilby, presumably named so because of the hat he wears.

According to Sellers, he already owned a trenchcoat when he created the character, and he bought Clouseau's trilby from a shop in London, England because he thought the hat just naturally completed the outfit. The 1950s radio program The Goon Show made frequent references to the hat, such as a description of Eccles in which he is seen wearing a "metal trilby."
