This feather spray comes from the Bittner hat workshop in Bad Ischl, Austria, where the family has made hats since 1862. It is made to sit in the band of a felt hat.
A long grey-brown feather with cream markings forms the back. In front sit two round golden feathers with dark edges, a rust-red feather with a black tip and a black-and-white speckled feather, with soft brown down at the base. The stem is wrapped in black, so it slides neatly under a hat band.
Tuck the stem under the band of a green, olive or grey felt hat, at the side. The golden feathers catch the light and lift a plain hat.
Can I move a feather spray from one hat to another?
Yes. A feather spray is not sewn on. Pull the stem gently out from under the band and slide it into the band of another hat. One hat can look quite different with a new spray.
Which feathers go with a green felt hat?
Warm colours stand out well against green: gold, rust, brown and cream. Speckled black-and-white feathers add contrast without being loud. Choose a spray where at least one colour picks up something in your jacket or scarf.
