NOTICE: MY SUPPLIER HAS RETIRED AND SO FAR I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A NEW ONE SO UNLESS I CAN FIND ONE THE INVENTORY THAT I HAVE NOW IS ALL I WILL BE ABLE TO GET. IF YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT GETTING ONE I RECOMMEND YOU DO SO SOONER BECAUSE ONCE THEY ARE GONE THAT'S IT.
This cavalier hat is made from a Felt Hat Blank and is available in sizes M (7 1/8), L(7 3/8), and XL (7 5/8). To determine your correct size measure the circumference around where you would wear the hat. Basically, from level with the forehead around. M size is about 22 1/4 inches, L is 23 inches, and XL is 23 7/8 inches.
The hat brim measures between 4 1/2 and 5 inches depending on where on the hat you measure it. Due to variations in the hat making process these measurements are a close approximation to the hats and are a guideline for sizing. Since these are felt they will stretch a bit when worn so if are an in between sizes I would recommend going with the smaller size closest to your measurement. Also if you plan on wearing a wig or cloth under the hat please allow for the extra thickness of these items when picking your size.
It is secured with a cloak clasp and comes with your choice of one large ostrich feather or 2 smaller or other type of feather. If you want a particular color or type of feather please include a note at time of purchase to let me know your choice otherwise I will just choose 2 smaller ones for you.
The Ostrich feathers can come in white, black, purple, yellow, wine, green, orange, blue, and red. Check to see for availability on feather colors as I may not always have all colors in stock. You may also choose between pheasant and striped turkey quill feathers as well as the 12" Peacock Eye feathers if you are taking the two feather option.
The felt can be a bit stiff when you first get it but it will soften up with repeated wearings and mold itself to fit the unique shape of your head. I have them in either Tan, Dark Brown, Gray and Red.  Also the tan and gray may be darker than it appears in the picture on your computer screen. The actual color is closer to the picture of the hat at the top of the listing than the one of the blanks shown above.
The hat comes with a brass pin inserted and folded up on the side but untrimmed. The hats can be trimmed and cut as you desire but is not necessary. They have a scalloped look to the edges when untrimmed that a lot of people like to leave as is. The feathers come loose in the box to keep them from getting broken during shipping. You simply insert the feathers behind the pin in the fold of the hat. I would suggest tacking them down with needle and thread for added security in case of a windy day.
These hats are great for Renaissance Fairs and SCA events. They also make a great pirate or pioneer era hat. This as well as the felt hat blanks I use to make these with that I also sell in my eBay store
are new from stock I carry in my booth at fairs. The hat may be slightly bent from shipping but is easy to bend back into shape once taken out of the box.
