Description: This is a striking USA Made fur felt hat that was made by Manny's Millinery in the Mid to Late 1980's. The Fur felt is a Deep Red Shade with a stylized animal pattern in black. Back then you could pick a fur felt bank- (this one was a capeline) in the store and they would block it to your specifications. The crown is 4" at highest and the brm is 3.5" deep Made of Melusine: a silky long-haired felt used for hats.It's probably 80% Hare and 20% Rabbit. Hare is very high end and often mistaken for Beaver. In this case it is a more affordable option than Beaver. These currently sell for around $180 before any shaping and finishing.The shape of this hat is sort of like the hats Stevie Van Zant would wear. Very Rock and Roll Glam. The felt is pristine, the feathers are an add on and can be easily remove to suit (they are held on with a straight pin) The hat was made for me at just under a 22.5" headsize. 22.5 = approx size 7 Around the outside of the crown measures 22.5" The inside would measure a little less. It seems to be approx a 6.34 or 21.5" size if I try and measure the inside. I know that Hats tend to shrink a little over the years if not worn and this hat has been displayed in a case for years. Good thing about Good Fur felt hats is they are easily resized! Also warm!
