notes: label: Description
content: A blocked fur felt red hat with two bows. The hat is indented at the top of the crown creating a “telescoped” blocked shape. The brim of that hat is blocked to resemble a breton hat brim. There is a viscose satin ribbon where the crown of the hat meets the brim with a bow at the center front and the center back. The bows are secured to the hat with hand stitches. A metal wire is attached to the top of the brim at the hat's interior with a metal aglet. Another metal wire is machine stitched to the bottom raw edge which is then folded to the interior. This wire is covered with a red petersham ribbon sweatband. There is a fabric label stitched to the hat's interior at the center back that reads [A Clemar ORIGINAL by Wesco].
