Quality Blank, Heavy Weight

This blank is thick and stiff enough to make a strong hat of your choosing. Brim width on the blank I received was about 6", enough to make a hat of good proportions, but it will need to be trimmed to have a smooth brim edge. The felt is easy to work with; cuts and sews easily, does not pill, pull, or shed. It can be steamed and stretched to achieve a perfect fit. I made a handsome cocked hat with mine and have received many compliments. The felt even survived a light rain without losing shape; I would recommend waterproofing, however, to maintain shape long term. A good blank at a reasonable price.
