This sci-fi-inspired costume headdress takes inspiration from all of the Star Trek programs - Yes, Guinan has the BEST hats. Additionally, this felted hat was inspired by seeing the amazing beauty of the stars and beyond our galaxy via the Hubble Telescope.
Wear this hat to a Festival, Art Exhibition, Halloween Party or May the Fourth Be With You Event, knowing that you are rocking a truly, one-of-a-kind piece of WearableArt!
FUN VIDEO:
COLOR:
• The hat is dark blue-black with tons of light-coloured, sparkling textures from shiny bamboo fibres, silver lace, beads, and sequins. Imagine the beauty of the night sky!
SHAPE:
• The hat is tall and shaped like a retro, space-age rocket. Also, it's slightly asymmetrical in homage to the Star Trek logo. In the back are two tails reminiscent of one of the shuttlecraft.
In addition to Merino wool, this hat is decorated with silk fabric, silk fibres, sequins, and beads.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 17" / 43 cm in height and 11" / 28 cm in width.
• It is a thick-thickness felt and weighs 11.4 oz. / 322 gm.
• Headsize EXTRA LARGE: but it fits a range of large to extra large -- 23" / 58.5 cm to 23.5" / 60 cm. (The model in the video (myself) has a much smaller head size and is wearing an under hat. )
• Inside the hat, there's a wide, black grosgrain ribbon band with a drawstring casing. Use this to make the hat somewhat smaller.

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.
