Embrace the understated elegance of the 16th century with my meticulously hand-blocked "Windsor" felt hat. Inspired by the soft, rounded forms seen in portraits and fashion plates of the early to mid-16th century, this hat offers a sophisticated and distinctive silhouette.

Each hat is individually shaped by hand on traditional wooden hat blocks in my studio, ensuring a unique and exquisite form that machine-made hats simply cannot replicate. The rich, earthy russet brown felt is selected for its quality and drape, providing both breathability and a luxurious feel.

The classic dome-shaped crown gently tapers towards a flat brim, offering both shade and a flattering line. A simple yet refined hatband cinches the base of the crown, finished with a subtle square detail that speaks to the era's taste for clean lines and natural textures.

This versatile hat is perfect for:

  • Historical Reenactment: An ideal complement to early to mid-16th century European civilian and gentlewomen's attire.

  • Renaissance Faires: Elevate your costume with an authentic period silhouette that stands out.

  • Unique Everyday Style: A truly distinctive accessory to add a touch of historical flair and timeless elegance to your modern wardrobe.

  • Theatrical Productions & Cosplay: Authentic shaping for historical character portrayals.

Experience the artistry and dedication of traditional millinery with a piece that bridges history and modern fashion.
