Unveil a touch of elegance with this exquisite hand-blocked felt hat from my collection, artfully inspired by the sophisticated tall hats and richly embellished headwear prevalent in the 16th century! While its immediate silhouette offers a timeless appeal, the intricate details are a direct nod to the period's love for luxurious adornment.
Each hat is meticulously hand-blocked in my studio from fine, denim blue mélange wool felt. The classic, straight crown and softly upturned brim create a universally flattering shape that speaks of quiet dignity and refined taste.
The true historical artistry emerges in the carefully placed embellishments:
-
Handmade Ribbon Cockade Rosette & Vintage button: A beautifully sculpted rosette of matching grosgrain ribbon graces the side, its layers unfolding to reveal a central gold tone vintage button, reminiscent of the precious stones and intricate metalwork often adorning hats of the nobility.
-
Whispers of Plumes: A delicate yet dynamic burst of blue dyed peacock feathers extends elegantly from behind the rosette, providing subtle height and aristocratic flair. The feathers are styled to evoke the graceful, often less overtly voluminous, plumes seen on some 16th-century headwear.
-
Subtle Ribbon Band: A clean, matching grosgrain ribbon hatband completes the look, providing a refined frame for the decorative elements.
This hat is a perfect choice for:
-
Historical Cosplay & Reenactment: Offers a sophisticated touch for 16th-century inspired characters where a less overtly "tall" hat is desired.
