Our hat project started out like many others,
because we wanted one. We chose to do a taller style "Beehive" type
hat as can be seen worn by both soldiers and civilians alike in many period images. There are a few options available to customize a hat to your liking. We can
make them in either a wool or fur felt with several color options to pick from.
Fur is a bit more expensive but makes a finer hat. You can also choose to have them
lined in silk or cotton.
*Measure the circumference of your head using a soft
tailor’s tape measure. Take the measurement starting about a thumb width above
the eyebrows running above the ears and around the head, essentially where you
want to wear the cap. Have someone else take the measurement for you if
possible.
