Sorry, but this Green Mossy Forest, Retro Pillbox Hat has already been adopted.
~~~~
Slightly surreal, green pillbox hat which has a vintage, 1940s vibe, yet is modern. This hat is embellished with a piece of faux textile bark, which looks like part of the mossy forest. Sport this unique, felted hat with the knowledge that you are wearing a fun, one-of-a-kind hat - a piece of wearable art.
COLOR:
• The hat's crown is muted forest green, while the bark decoration is many brighter shades of lime green, from lime to emerald.
SHAPE:
• The hat has a simple pillbox shape contrasted with the sculptural 'bark' that asymmetrically arches around the sides and top of the hat. This decoration resembles several forms: an animal's skull, antelope horns, and of course, tree bark. The hat sits high on the head.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 8" / 20 cm in height and 9" / 23 cm in width.
• It is a medium thickness felt and weighs 4.5 oz. / 128 gm.
• Size SMALL: it fits a range of headsizes -- 21.75" / 56 cm to 22.25" / 56.5 cm.
Inside the hat, there's a brown-colored grosgrain ribbon.

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.
