Wool Felt Blank Hat Reenactors Wool felt hat Black Brown 18th 19th century repro

Description

These are a high quality Wool Felt Hat that will keep its shape. The hat is oval in shape with a 4” crown and 5” brim. The measurement across the hat is 17” x 18”. The hat can be made round by steaming the hat and forming it around a round form. I have used a ball to accomplish this task. We do not make the blanks round this must be done by the customer. If you are making a Tricorne we suggest that you order one size larger than you normally wear. You will lose sizing after cocking up the sides. We use this blank to make our cocked hats and have many satisfied customers. If you are going to wear this Blank as is or Cocked on 1 side you will not have to order a size larger.
We suggest measure the circumference of your head right above your ears for a correct size.
The sizing starts a size 7 and go up to 7 7/8.  The hats come in Black and Brown. For your convenience here is a listing of the measurements for each size of the hats.
7 = 21.5”
7 1/8 =22”
7 ¼ = 22.5”
7 3/8 = 23”
7 ½ = 23.5”
7 5/8 = 24”
7 ¾” = 24.5”
7 7/8 = 25”
We try and keep each size in stock especially black blanks. These hats are made in the
U.S.A.
We have added a few photo’s of original 18
th
century cocked hats for you to look at as examples. When ordering please send us a note of which size and color you would like.
Side note: 18th century hat blanks were made round, early 19th century they were made oval for a better fit.
