Hats Fashion

Felt shaped into a soft peak, like the top of a stupa. Hats and headwear here include contemporary sculptural felt hats from the Netherlands and Rex rabbit fur hats and headbands from the gallery’s own label. The Dutch felt hats come in architectural forms with names to match: the Stupa Hat, the Andrea, a limited edition hat and Great Soldiers Hat No. 2. Rex rabbit is a breed known for dense, plush fur, short and even as velvet.

The fur hats come with ear flaps and pompoms, made with a Chicago January in mind, and the fur headbands keep ears warm without flattening anyone’s hair. The fur pieces are one size fits all. Hang a felt hat on a peg in the hall between wearings, where it doubles as a small sculpture. Practical in winter, debatable in July, handsome in both.
