AND THEY'RE OFF!!
Royal Ascot, Britain’s most valuable horse race meeting began today in England and will continue for the next 5 days.  This highly anticipated and revered event attracts many of the world’s finest racehorses to compete for more than £5.5milllion in prize money. This 5 day racing spectacle is just as much about socialising, fashion and style as it it about the horses racing!  There will be many outrageous, colourful and fabulous hats to be seen over the event…let the spectacular begin! 

With the long weekend approaching it's all about relaxation, fun and friends…and a great felt hat of course!  We have hand picked 3 styles from our Custom Classics collection, all made by hand, that will have you enjoying a super relaxed stylish weekend, keeping you warm and chic wherever you choose to be. 

Come behind the scenes and follow the step by step process of how we create a Fur Felt Trilby! 

The design is a 'sharp and chic'  trilby featuring an asymmetrical crown and turned up brim blocked in a luxurious black rabbit fur felt trimmed with a leather and felt band.

Steps include steaming, blocking, stitching, wire, trimming and the finishing touches!
