This hat is the classic shape worn for over a century. It is a 100% stiff wool felt hat with a smooth finish. It comes fully lined and features the traditional grosgrain ribbon and matching binding on a narrow pencil-curled brim. If you prefer more dip in the brim (that's the downward tilt in the front and back), just put a note in the Comment Box when you order and we will customize the hat for you at no extra charge. (Shaping the brim to suit you may take an extra day or two, so please allow for that.)
