Hand-Blocked "Navarre" Felt Hat - 16th Century Inspired - Historical Reenactment, Renaissance Faire, Theatrical, Elegant Fashion

Discover a piece of vibrant history with my meticulously hand-blocked "Navarre" felt hat, a testament to the rich colors and elaborate adornments favored in the royal courts of the 16th century. While drawing inspiration from the softer, rounded headwear occasionally seen on figures of noble standing, this piece truly shines through its exquisite embellishment.

Each hat begins its journey in my studio, where premium quality felt in a striking, deep periwinkle hue is skillfully hand-blocked over traditional wooden forms. This bespoke process ensures a unique, refined shape that a machine simply cannot achieve, offering a comfortable and elegant fit.

The hat features a gentle, rounded crown and a subtly downturned brim, framing the face with a touch of period charm. Adorning the side is a captivating arrangement:

• Regal Knot Embellishment: It's accented with a beautiful, vintage silver-toned button, echoing the lavish buttons and jewels used to adorn period attire.

• Lavish Feather Plume: A dynamic burst of soft, multi-toned feathers in shades of deep lavender, violet, and hints of charcoal cascades from behind the knot. This voluminous plume speaks to the ostentatious display of wealth and status through exotic bird feathers, a common feature on hats worn by courtiers and nobility in the 16th century.

This hat is an exceptional choice for:

• Historical Reenactment: Lending an air of authentic color and detail to your 16th-century inspired ensembles.

• Renaissance Faires: Stand out with a historically informed, yet artistically embellished, headpiece.

• Theatrical Productions & Cosplay: Add a vibrant and unique element to your character's costume.

• Unique Fashion Statement: Incorporate a truly distinct piece of wearable art into your contemporary wardrobe, perfect for special occasions or adding drama to an outfit.

Experience the dedication of traditional millinery with a hat that marries historical inspiration with striking beauty.
