Item details

Delivery will be Royal Mail 1st class post, or Tracked 48. I have a no fuss approach to packaging, (and indeed life!) and endeavour to use sustainable materials where possible.

This was adapted from a Russian masterclass I found online. (Eastern bloc felters are amazing!) It starts life as an elongated egg shape, which is then folded to form a double layered hat. I made the upper part longer than the inner, so that I could add interesting folds and creases.

This item will be posted to you by Felt by Bridget within 3 days of receiving payment.

Full description

Handmade wet felted grey shaded merino wool cloche hat. It has a vintage feel to it, with an asymmetrical brim and folded crown detail. A matching rose is attached to the hat with a hat pin, so it's position can be changed, or removed and used as a lapel pin.

A soft, warm and lightweight hat, it can be folded and squished - it will pop back into shape.

Yes, wear it in the rain and snow. No, it won't shrink in the rain. Just dry it in shape after it gets wet.

As with all my hats, the fit is adjustable. There is an inner drawstring threaded into the felt itself - pull the tab to your size and wrap it around the button to secure.

This particular hat is slightly smaller than usual, and is suitable for small and medium heads - from approx 52 - 57 cm (approx 20.5 - 22.5 inches)

I make all my hats by hand, turning unspun merino wool into a strong felt using traditional wet felting methods.

Designed by Bridget O'Connell in Norwich
