Using a hand shaping technique after the initial blocking on the round crown mold, this style is hand molded to create a completely one of a kind piece teardrop. The process allows for the artisan to have control of every detail and curve regarding the shape of the crown- perfecting each one slightly different from the rest. Created with 100% rabbit felt, it is soft and delicate to the touch. Despite being malleable enough to sculpt into the ideal shape, the teardrop crown as well as the brim remains firm and structured. The brim is 8cm and is trimmed with a fine silk gros grain. Same gros is used for a western bow around the crown. On the crown, our EarthpieceTM reminds you what's important. Inside you can have the vegetal tanned calf leather sweatband with Poglia branding and a special lining. The hat is hand made in Florence, Italy with respect and consciousness of quality and making process.
