One Left! Felt deals Cavalier Hat - Brooch - Feather Hatband #2 - Pheasant Feather

Made from a black wool hat body. (We do our best to represent the colors of the hats accurately, but lighting and monitor differences may vary.)

Although we call this a cavalier hat because of its connection to the Musketeers in the 17th century, it was actually made popular during the 16th century by the Lansquenets, German mercenary soldiers, who decorated them with cuts and slashes, braids and feathers....lots of feathers! Of course, it was worn much earlier and in other countries as well, but not as flamboyantly.

This Listing is for a wide brim felt hat, pinned up on the side with a brass penannular circle brooch. It has an attached pheasant feathered hat band and a long ring-neck pheasant tail feathers to tuck into the brim. The color of the feathers used on this hatband is the almond plumage, which is a rusty brown with deals a center eye of dark brown and cream. This pattern is often referred to as "church windows". The hatband is not removable. It is held on with permanent waterproof adhesive.

NOTE: This particular combination of feathers has been discontinued. Only 1 hatband left and it is on a small hat that can be stretched to a medium. Send head measurement around forehead and we will make sure it fits!

These hats are unlined. The hat crown is about 4” high and the brim is 4” wide. Black only! The pheasant feathers are approx. 15-18" long and the brass penannular circle brooch is 1 3/4 wide and has a 2 1/4" tang. The hatband is approx. 1 1/2" wide.
