The secret of felt hats
If a hat is distinguished at first glance by its shape, its material is also very important. More accessible than beaver fur, which is becoming scarcer, rabbit felt is much softer and more waterproof than wool felt. To make a hat, rabbit hair is first stirred together and then subjected to the bastissage stage, which allows it to adhere to what will become the cap. The hat in the making is then immersed in boiling water. Compressed with the help of a bell, it then begins to take its final shape before the final finishing touches such as dyeing and labelling of the edges and head.
