Fur Felt Blue 40s Style Trilby


So I made this hat a little while back. It's design is based on this 40's hat that I spied in one of the local vintage shops. The original was actually a half size type hat in a navy blue. It was amazing and I'm trying to make a hat that is even closer to that hat in size. This one is more wearable as an everyday hat.
This side profile shows off the ace bow I made for it. This picture doesn't quite capture it though!
The top of the hat has, what someone described as a nipple. Different, oh yes.

What a totally gorgeous hat! I love 40s hats (and own a few originals). The colour is beautiful.
