This hat is a stunning deep red color mixed with a graphic design. Its shape is achieved by blocking it with folds on a square-based crown wooden block. The resulting hat is a show-stopper. This is for the woman who likes to be bold. Who likes to wear her hats a little recessed on her head. A woman who likes subtle volume in her hat.
A head-turner for sure. Subtle and elegant and regal, for the queen in you.
I start with chiffon silk and the softest merino wool. I combine the two elements, by wet-felting in a process called nuno felt. Once the hood is created, I stiffen the felt, steam it and block it over a wooden block to achieve this shape.
This hat fits a smaller head, 21.5″-22.5″ wide. To clean, wipe with a wet rag. Bad weather will not ruin this hat, as wool protects you from snow, rain, fog, sleet etc. If saturated with water, re-shape it on your head, remove it and let it dry. Reinforce with a hot iron if you want to. If you have questions about fit, please let me know.
