Felt Hats
Main points about felt hats:
- They can be many shades of color, although black seems to predominate in formal paintings, you can see in the first picture that various shades of brown were present
- The width of brims varied greatly and provides some flexibility
- The height of the crowns also varied a great deal
- The crowns were commonly flat but could also be rounded.
