Fez Hat


I made a new custom fez style hat recently for a customer who really likes them.  This is his third one!  He's a redhead, so I thought that blue and gray might work well for him.  It turns out that he loves it!  I asked him to send a photo of himself wearing it, but no luck yet.  Anyhow here are two photos of the hat on a display head.  



The glass bead on the end of the tassel is hard to see, but it's glass and is a sort of dark gray and black.  The top part is two ply blue and gray Corriedale and Shetland wool.  The double ply makes it thicker so that it holds it's shape better.  The band is natural gray Shetland wool.
