~~~~~
This stunning, felted top hat was inspired by a painting by the Impressionist artist Claude Monet. It takes its glowing colors from his painting of the British Houses of Parliament. Like all of his work, the colors glow amazingly. Similarly, in the hat, the colors are particularly rich and vibrant.
You can wear this Wearable Art Hat anywhere - while strolling in the city or relaxing in the country. It will keep you warm and stylish.
COLOR:
• The hat is multicolored and has an ombre transition from blue-violet at the tip down to a salmon-orange at the brim. In between, there are shades of lavender, navy blue, peach, and orange. There's topstitching in purple on the tip of the crown, which helps to keep its shape.
SHAPE:
• The hat has a top hat shape with three undulating ruffles that run vertically down the front.
SIZE:
• The hat measures 9" / 23 cm in height and 10.5" / 25.5 cm in width.
• It is a medium thickness felt and weighs 7.3 oz. / 209 gm.

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.

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.
