Damsons Walk Tall Fedora Silver Grey

This Western-inspired Fedora-style hat has a tall crown and wide brim. Made from a beautifully soft, silver-grey felt from European rabbit fur, this hat has a feminine touch. It features a contrasting leather interior band and a 'hand made' mark from the Hat Butcher, alongside our Damsons label. 

This stunning accessory is a bold but beautiful finishing touch to your outfit and will age gracefully in a stylish wardrobe. Perfect for the long summer days ahead but also as we head into autumn, this versatile piece is not one to skip over. 

Origins: Western hats came about in the United States sometime in the mid-19th century. 

These hats featured deep crowns and wide brims to protect people out on the prairie from the hot summer sun. They were especially popular among ranchers and anyone who frequently rode horses

The Hat Butcher: I am a self-taught hat maker from Bucharest, Romania, who comes from a family with a heritage in craftsmanship, starting with my grandfather who was a shoe-maker.

I was introduced by my father to the world of movies and music and this is how I discovered western spaghetti movies. The western hats and old styles of clothing triggered a passion for hats from an early age.

The learning process involves many hours of practice and the deconstruction of old hats and then trying to make them up again. After years of studying, I am still learning with every hat that I make, trying to achieve a fine quality product with my unique style stamped into it.
