Do you remember the book (or film) 'James and the Giant Peach'? This felted Giant Peach Hat might be large enough to travel upon, and also entertaining enough for your fellow passengers. It's truly a kawaii-style piece of wearable art. Dare You to Wear the Peach?

 

COLOR:

•  This hat is made of orange, red, and yellow-colored wool.

 

SHAPE:

• The hat looks like an oversized peach and has a tiny stem on top.  Think of it as a peach-version of a beret!

Inside the hat, there is a wide, gray-colored, grosgrain millinery ribbon with a drawstring. Pull-on to make the hat smaller. 

 

SIZE:

• Headsize LARGE: fits a range of 22.5" / 57 cm to  23" / 58.5 cm.
• The hat measures 5.5" / 14 cm in height and 14" / 36 cm in width.
• It is a medium thickness of felt and weighs 5.4 ounces / 153 grams.

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.

For more information, see this Illustrated Guide.

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

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

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.

Just peachy!

I had so much indecision about buying this hat, mostly because there were so many others which I have had my eyes on and adopted over time. Having now added this beauty to my ever growing collection of gorgeous handmade hats, things are all coming together nicely. I love the detail used in this piece, in the melding together of the different shades of orange, red, and yellow. I love peaches, and this hat gave me a lot of pep in my step

Hello Rory,

So glad that you decided to 'Dare to Eat (Wear) a Peach'! As one of the founders of the Allman Brothers put it, 'Much like the dichotomies of life, a peach is both sweet and sour, soft and hard, smooth and fuzzy. It’s delicious, but you must eat it with full willingness to get messy – before it goes rotten.'

May your Peach Beret adorn you with happiness! Thank you for your continued support.
