Wool felt, like that used to make The Indiana Jones Wool Felt Fedora (you know, the men's hat with the unmistakable silhouette of The Dressed Up Indy), and also seen in The Godfather, a classic homburg offered in more shades than there are bookies in Brooklyn -- I say, felted wool (such as that employed in the making of the popular and water repellent, crushable outback hat called The Indiana Jones Vintage Indy) is a veritably versatile material, especially when it comes to the manufacture of men's hats. More affordable than fur felt, wool felt can be used to make casual hats like the foldable, travel-friendly fedora Glen, or a crushable snap brimmed hat like The Scala Roadmaster, with bound edge brim and slim grosgrain band. Wool felt can also be used to create any number of dress hat styles, including those from Stacy Adams: The Debonair fedora, for instance, is a jaunty lid and easy on the pocket. There's the very British Homburg, a truly faithful reproduction of that classic, nicely done in wool felt, as well as The Rocker, a porkpie, and a wonderfully dapper stingy brim fedora. [more]
