Modelled broadly on the 'Peter the Great' hat held at the Hermitage Museum in Russia and on several hats in National Museum Denmark, Copenhagen. Also known variously as a Broad Brimmed Monmouth or Boat cap this is a floppy, heavy wool hat knit double thick in British wool then fulled to be warm and cosy in the foulest of weather.
A suitable choice for seventeenth century and later re-enactment and a possibility to go with a pirate portrayal. I can do this in a wide range of shades, just let me know hat you would like and I'll look out a suitable yarn.
Do let me know if you require any proportions altering for a taller, shorter crown or wider or narrower brim (wider brims tend to be floppy in wear, slightly narrower ones stick out more firmly).
Made to order. The way our order book is currently working, we open the shop approximately once a month for new commissions and shut it again once we have as many orders as we think we can realistically make over the next6 weeks or so. Please be aware that your order may fall anywhere into that timescale. We'll always aim to be as prompt as we can.

We are sorry to have to announce that Gareth died on Friday 26 March 2021 after being diagnosed with cancer in the autumn of 2020.
Sally had surgery for breast cancer on 30 March and is also currently doing an MSc in Experimental Archaeology, so between healing and university is currently working a bit more slowly than usual. Thank you for your patience and support!
