Have you ever seen pictures of the Caribbean sea, dappled with sunlight? This Pale Blue-Green Top Hat has those colors. Of course, you wouldn't need a warm, felted hat 'down there.' But, wearing this hat, with its delightful colors, will surely help make your winter better... and warmer.
COLOR:
• The hat's colors are a soft aqua, blue-green color with brighter blue peeking out from under the brim. For interest, raised felt circles and slashes decorate the sides of this felted hat.
SHAPE:
• The shape of this hat is a marriage between a top hat and a cloche. It has elements of both types of hats. However, the way the brim slopes downwards at the back is a feature of how a cloche fits.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 7.5" / 18 cm in height and 10" / 25.5 cm in width.
• It is a medium thickness felt and weighs 5.1 oz. / 146 gm.
• Headsize LARGE: but, it fits a range of medium to large -- 22.5" / 54.5 cm to 23" / 58.5 cm.
Inside the hat, there's a wide, gray grosgrain ribbon band with a drawstring. Use this to make the hat smaller.

Care
Care
Felt is an eco-friendly, fiber that is water and stain resistant. Dust is not a problem - just give it a shake.
This hat can be gently hand-washed in cool water. Rinse. Blot dry on a towel. Place a small towel inside to shape. Always air dry hand felted wearables.

What is Felt?
What is Felt?
Each FeltHappiness Hat is entirely handmade and created from soft Merino wool fibers using the technique of wet felting. It's an ancient and simple craft that takes patience and lots of kneading to shrink the fibers into a strong, flexible, and warm felt. To learn more, see HERE.
In addition to insulating, wool naturally resists water. Hence, your felted hat will keep you warm in chilly weather and dry in light rain. Plus, wool resists mildew, dirt, and fire!
It's magical stuff!
Measuring Your Head
Measuring Your Head
Every head has its own unique size and shape, which can be measured with a flexible tape measure or even a piece of string.
Take the tape measure and encircle your head, just above the top of your ears. Make sure that the tape measure goes over that small bump at the back of your head. Please don't pull it tightly. Leave a little 'ease' so that one finger can fit under the tape. An ear-to-ear measure can be helpful too.
Measure three times: it is surprising how it can vary!
Inches or centimetres are fine.
Sustainability
Sustainability
Wool is a highly sustainable and eco-friendly material. Sheep grow their wool continuously and need to be shorn regularly for their own health and comfort. This means that wool is a renewable resource, and the production of wool does not harm the animal.
In addition, wool is biodegradable, which means that it will naturally decompose over time and will not accumulate in landfills or oceans. This makes wool a great alternative to synthetic materials that take centuries to decompose and contribute to environmental pollution.
Moreover, wool is an excellent insulator, which means that it can help to reduce energy consumption by keeping us warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It is also naturally flame-resistant and has antibacterial properties, making it a safe and hygienic choice for clothing and bedding.
Overall, wool is a sustainable and natural product with many benefits for both the environment and consumers. FeltHappiness Hats uses wool into our products to promote more sustainable and ethical fashion practices.
