Iris Dot can be dressed up or down for an elegant evening or casual outing. The up-cycled silk that was felted into the wool was also used to create a headband, showing just how much the wool changes not only the size of the print, but the look of the fabric. I acquired the fur pompom on a trip to Beijing four years ago! It trims this hat so well, hinting at colder days that are coming! Paired with a wool coat or chunky turtleneck sweater, this hat will keep your head warm in all sorts of fall/winter weather.

Description
This hat is handmade felt. The silk material is fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting called nuno felting. Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is stiffened and blocked over a vintage wooden block to shape. The brim is wired, and an elastic inner band is sewn in by hand helping keep the hat on your head. Finally it is trimmed with a simple yet sophisticated silk head band and pompom.
This hat fits a medium-sized head, 21.75-22.75″. If you have questions about fit, please contact me.
“Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self expression and, above all, attitude.” —Iris Apfel
