This hat is made with a silk-wool-linen mix fabric over a cotton canvas inner structure, with a handmade silk lining. The inner structure is made in cotton canvas, cut, blocked, sewn and pressed over a wooden hat block. Then the outer part is made by cutting, sewing, blocking (pinning, steaming, unpinning, re-pinning, re-steaming, resting) the fabric on the block. Both crown and brim are treated similarly. The brim is wired and bound by hand.
