Felt is a textile material that is produced by matting, condensing, and pressing fibers together. It is typically made from natural fibers such as wool, rabbit, beaver, or blends but can also be produced from synthetic fibers or a blend of both. The process of making felt involves applying heat, moisture, and pressure to the fibers, causing them to interlock and form a dense, sturdy fabric.

Picture this: shorter crowns and brims that make them totally street-ready.
Whether you're hitting the trails or embarking on your daily adventures, our styles are all about that easy-wear vibe. And hey, if you've got a wild hat idea, we're up for the challenge – we can whip up just about anything! 🤠✨
