It also makes a felt hat sit lower and look neater than a round, uncreased crown. On this Bittner hat, the crease runs along the top of the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is wool felt, and how is a felt hat made?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFelt is made by pressing wool fibres together with heat, moisture and movement until they lock into a firm fabric. There is no weaving. The felt is then steamed and pulled over a wooden block to give the hat its shape, and the brim and crown are finished by hand. Wool felt is warm, holds its shape and stands up well to everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat kind of hat goes with a loden or tweed jacket?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA felt hat in a natural colour, with a simple rope or leather band, is the classic choice. Pick a colour that is already in the jacket, such as green, brown or grey, so the hat and jacket look like they belong together. A green felt hat with a green twisted rope fits most loden and tweed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bittner","offers":[{"title":"58","offer_id":55399099498829,"sku":"P26008-M28-58","price":2795.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false},{"title":"59","offer_id":55399099531597,"sku":"P26008-M28-59","price":2795.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false},{"title":"60","offer_id":55399099564365,"sku":"P26008-M28-60","price":2795.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0026\/4388\/6126\/files\/austrian-hat-bittner2.png?v=1794652664","url":"https:\/\/www.huntway.com\/products\/hallstatt-wool-felt-hat-olive-brown","provider":"Huntway","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
