New Hats: RES Signature Leather Brim Fedora

Ron Shelton — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 21:22:15 +0000

Hot of the block is my latest hat: Leather Brim Fedora. I have added other unique features to the traditional Fedora, thus making this hat my first signature design; it is still under construction, but the basic concept is well in place. The first unique feature is the Leather brim which I first introduced in my fur felt line. This hat will not have all features of my exclusive line, but will maintain a high level of aesthetic uniqueness, making my signature hat in a more affordable price range. I hand-block both brim and crown separately, before I marry them. I have perforated seven 1/4 holes throughout the crown. I am still hammering out the details of this feature, I may have several perforation designs in different hats. Some of the holes may have metal eyelets/grommets. This is a 100 % wool hat, which does not receive the same production treatment as my fur felt hat line. The technique called pouncing: a process of steaming, sanding and ironing the fur felt body to render the surface smooth and uniformed . Prep and pounching crown This hat will not have a silk embroidered liner as the fur felts. You have the choice of several wool hat bodies. The traditional leather sweat band is placed inside. I am incorporating a collection of interchangeable head band, each employing it own unique signature to the hat. I plan to go way out with these bands, which will be constructed of fabric and leather combinations. You have the choice one band for your hat. But you can obtain additional bands of your choosing. I will add more selections of bands in the future, right now, there are only two: the first is a 1 inch band with tapered end. There is a “leather feather” attached to the end, as the tapered end is secured with a metal snap. The other band has a tapered triangle shape made of leather with two hand-crafted feather arrangement. http://www.reshats.com
