This one is wool felt (Hat body from Hats by Leko) cotton trim, all hand sewn and hand blocked and shaped by me. I patterned it after paintings I've seen of George Washington from the American Revolution. Tell me wat you think mates.

Thanks much for all th' compliments. Th' buttons are from an A.C. Moore "jewelry line called sea life. They are actually locket pendants, drilled through the back, I left them so they still open. Gertie, I would be honored to make such hats for others, let me know what you are looking for and I'll see what I can do.
