A hat made the old way: this fur felt fedora by Tesi still shows how it should be done.<\/p>\n
Fur felt may mean nothing to you, or you may be thinking: of course I know it. If it’s the latter, skip this. If it’s the former, here is a quick word on what a fur felt hat is.<\/p>\n
Fur felt simply means it is made from animal fur, usually rabbit. Hats used to be made exclusively from fur felt, but wearing a hat is no longer the norm, so people know it less well. Most hats are made from wool, for reasons of price: wool is cheaper than fur, which makes the hats easier to sell at the price.<\/p>\n
But there is a reason hat enthusiasts prefer fur felt.<\/p>\n
So if you only plan to buy one hat, my choice would certainly be one in fur felt.<\/p>\n
What I like very much about this shape of hat is that it is still finished with a silk lining and a leather sweatband. The leather has the advantage of more friction, so the hat is less likely to blow off. And the lining is a pleasure for whoever is wearing it.<\/p>\n
This model comes in 2 colours:<\/p>\n
In closing:<\/p>\n
If you want a hat that looks good, wears elegantly and lasts, I would not hesitate. The colours are handsome, particularly in person.<\/p>\n
