A snazzy forest green velour felt fedora that will up your style factor this Fall!
I've got to say, I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out! I shaped this fedora's crown by hand (and with a lot of steam) after blocking it on a simple round crown hat block. The brim is shaped by hand, too, and has a spring steel wire under its ribbon-bound edge so that you can pop the brim up or down as you prefer. Being shaped by hand rather than being blocked on a fedora crown block means that it is completely one-of-a-kind, and that's even before you start talking about the stitched Mokuba ribbon hat band and the double-layered bow. This is a really special hat in a classic, wearable-every-day sort of style.
This hat will best fit a 23-inch head size, though you could perhaps have a slightly smaller head circumference and have it work, too. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have about sizing!

I'm so glad you asked! Avoid wearing a straw hat in wet weather because it will quickly lose its shape in the rain. You may also find that some dyed straws' colors will run when wet.
Avoid getting fabric trims like silk flowers, ribbon ornaments and veils wet as these can still look droopy even after they dry again.
If a felt hat becomes wet, stuff it loosely with tissue before allowing it to dry. If your felt looks dull or dusty, you can use a bristle brush to brush up the nap again.
To store, stuff your hat loosely with tissue paper to hold its shape, and put it in its hat box away from dust and sunlight. Never hang a hat or keep it on a stand or its shape could become distorted over time.
