"Hazel" is a one of a kind pretty bronzy brown vintage-inspired cloche that's made completely by hand and is blocked over a vintage hat block. The steaming and blocking process produces it's unique shape. Once the hat is blocked, a wire is sewn into the brim to help it stay in the desired shape. I do all of the stitching by hand.
An asymmetrical brim is a flattering look on most women. This one comes to a soft point on the right side. As with traditional cloche hats, the back of the brim is short and shallow. A shallow back brim prevents the hat from bumping into your coat collar.
The band is a pretty metallic copper color and is topped with a coordinating rosette, feathers and vintage button. Reminds me of a hat that Lady Mary would wear!
An adjustable inner grosgrain headband ribbon helps it keep its shape and avoids damage from makeup. Step out in style!
