Sorry, this hat has been adopted.
~~~~~
This natural gray, Gotland wool Top Hat is a little bit quirky and will remind you of long walks in the forest. Or wear it in town to remind you of the trees.
COLOR:
• The hat has heathered tones of gray from the Gotland wool that it's made from. Multiple vertical 'slashes' on the sides of the hat look like bark and give the hat a rustic feel.
SHAPE:
• The hat is a medium height and has a top hat silhouette. There are five small tabs encircling the tip of the hat, making it almost look like a castle.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 7" / 18 cm in height and 10" / 25.5 cm in width.
• It is a thick felt and weighs 6.7 oz. / 190 gm.
• Headsize LARGE: but, it fits a range of medium to large -- 22.5" / 57 cm to 23.75" / 60 cm.
Inside the hat, there's a wide, gray grosgrain ribbon band with a drawstring casing. 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.
For more information, see this Illustrated Guide.
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.

This hat is warm and comfortable to wear. After having bought hats from Felt Happiness before, I already knew that it would be well made and so have bought it for the cold winter days when I feel the need to have something a little different but not too different!
Dear Fiona,
Many thanks for your helpful review - I love how you describe the hat, 'a little different but not too different'! That's exactly what I envisioned it. Wishing much health and happiness wearing your Gray Gotland Wool Top Hat!!!
With appreciation,
