Our Country Hat was designed with function and practicality in mind. With its neat silhouette and short brim is it is ideal for wearing on county pursuits such as walking, fishing, foraging & hunting. The stiff-bodied hat tapers elegantly in three panels towards the crown, and the body features a narrow bias-cut band with a pocket, frayed at the top, housing brightly coloured feathers for a country sports look. The decorative stitching on the brim also act to strengthen the brim which, like the Walking Hat, is made from Buckram. Each piece is crafted using authentic, high-quality Irish tweeds expertly stitched together using the ancient craft of quilting. Historically, quilted fabric was made from the salvageable parts of old clothing or blankets which were recycled to create a new patchwork fabric. At Hanna Hats we use the highest quality tweeds to create our patchworks, and often cut patches from irregular shapes which are a by-product of our production, adding additional sustainability credentials to this eco-friendly cloth. Just like the head that wears this hat, each one is totally unique! Please note that as each patchwork hat is unique it will vary from the photograph. · Handcrafted in Ireland· Stiff-Bodied Tailored Fit Hat· Tapered Crown· Stiff Buckram Brim· 100% Wool· Fully Lined with Viscose Lining· Gentle Dry Clean · Suitable for all Genders
