This kitchen sink deep cloche is named for Alma Reville, a pioneer for women in the film industry.  She also was known as Alfred Hitchcock’s wife.  Writer, assistant director, actress, screenwriter, Alma wore many hats and forged a path for women in film.  She was also Hitchcock’s sounding board and collaborator.  On accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award, Alfred is quoted as thanking “I beg permission to mention by name only four people who have given me the most affection, appreciation and encouragement, and constant collaboration. The first of the four is a film editor, the second is a scriptwriter, the third is the mother of my daughter, Pat, and the fourth is as fine a cook as ever performed miracles in a domestic kitchen. And their names are Alma Reville”.

Description

This hat is handmade felt.  The “kitchen sink”/assorted silk fabrics are fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting called nuno felting.  Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is blocked over a vintage heated block and shaped by hand. This cloche is perfect for keeping the weather (snow, sleet rain) off your hair while covering your ears in cold weather.  She’s game to go and do anything in the winter, she’s here to help you get you outside!  🙂

This hat fits a large-sized head, 23.0-24.0″ in circumference.  If you have any questions about size, please contact me.
