Padua Hat, Elizabethan Renaissance Tall hat in textured teal green wool felt - in stock ready to ship

This Renaissance flat Crown Tall Hat was blocked by hand on a vintage wooden hat block, in a uniquely textured felt that I found at a fellow vendor's booth at Faire. The felt is hand blocked on a vintage wooden hat mold in a fashionable style for the mid-late 1500's and could be part of a very rich character story.

Inspired by art and portraits from the mid 1500's, this hat features a wired welt brim and petersham grosgrain ribbon for a period look. It is finished with a swoosh of natural common rooster tail feathers.

This is a completed, ready-to-ship hat. It is medium in size, fitting 21.5”-22.5” circumference. To make the hat comfortable, I have sewn in a grosgrain headsize ribbon that is adjustable.

Felt and straw hats are meant for fashion wear, and if they get very wet or left in the sun they may lose their shape, fade or shrink. They can be dusted with a soft natural bristle brush for years of wear.
