This soft hat, a style originally made in Europe, features a crown that tapers towards the top and a center crease with a valley-like indentation on the top crown.

The material used is a luxurious antelope-finished wool, which is finer and more lustrous than regular wool. Among rabbit fur felts, antelope is considered the highest quality, referring to short-napped rabbit fur that has been brushed. This wool faithfully recreates the smooth texture of rabbit fur.

The brim is a wide 8cm, with a raw, unfinished edge. However, three rows of stitching reinforce its durability.

The hatband uses a special men's ribbon with finely formed edges (commonly known as "ears"). This ribbon can only be woven at a low speed and requires extensive handwork by skilled artisans, making it a truly luxurious item. Its beautiful finish exudes a distinctive presence that cannot be found in mass-produced hats.

A windcatcher, secured with elastic, is attached around the crown. In the past, this was used by buttoning it through the flower hole of a jacket or shirt to prevent the hat from being blown off by the wind or falling off during travel. This windcatcher is not only practical but also serves as a subtle accent that sharpens the overall impression.

The sweatband is made of vegetable-tanned cow leather, a tanning method that uses tannins (astringent plant compounds) found in bark, trunks, leaves, and fruits to soak into the leather. This leather is less prone to shrinkage, robust, and will mold to the shape of the head and deepen in color with use.

Sizing This hat is designed with a longer front-to-back dimension and a slightly narrower width, and it has a firmer finish. We recommend choosing one size larger than your usual size for a comfortable fit.
