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. 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. 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 8 cm with an irregular raw edge. It is then decorated with fabric inlays all over the brim and around the crown a cloth tiny band is completed by a leather string. On the crown, our EarthpieceTM reminds you what's important. Inside you can have the vegetal tanned calf leather sweatband. The hat is hand made in Florence, Italy with respect and consciousness of quality and making process.
