This Oak Tree Inspired Landscape Hat may remind you of paintings of the past or places you have visited. Or perhaps, it may remind you of country walks while you are cooped up at work? Either way, you will enjoy wearing this cozy, one-of-a-kind, felted hat indoors or outdoors.
Note: this hat was one of my two felted hats that were featured in an issue of Refigural Magazine. Pretty Cool!
COLOR:
• This hat takes its colors from the wonderful golden light of California. It's predominately green and includes spring, olive, and forest green. The tip of the hat is a beautiful azure blue, while underneath the trees, there's a warm yellow peeking through. Inside the hat, there's a layer of vibrant orange.
SHAPE:
• The hat's shape is inspired by the rounded hills that can be seen around the San Francisco Bay area. It is also somewhat shaped like a Sugarloaf style hat or an English Police Officier's Hat - a Bobby Hat.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 10.5" / 27 cm in height and 10" / 26 cm in width.
• It is a medium-light thickness felt and weighs 4.7 oz. / 134 gm.
• Size LARGE: it fits a range of headsizes -- 22.5" / 57 cm to 23.75" / 60 cm.
Inside the hat, there's a wide, gray-colored, grosgrain ribbon with a drawstring. Pull-on this to make the hat smaller if needed.

Care
Care
Of course, you can wear your hat in the rain. After all, felt is made with soap and water, yet naturally resists water. However, if your hat gets drenched, please air dry it by sitting over a wine bottle, so that the brim can retain its shape.
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.
