Care

The delicate brim should be handled with care. Always remove the hat by gently pinching the front. To maintain its shape and longevity, air it out after each wear and store it in a cool, dry place.

All our felts are preshrunk during the blocking stage to avoid later shrinking as much as possible. Our rabbit/beaver is pounced to a smooth finish and a coating of protector is applied to prolong its resistance to the elements.

Did you know

The Cairo Poet hat features some of the most extreme shaping elements in the Indiana Jones franchise. This includes "The Turn" and a long front pinch, along with a unique bulge in the felt on the non-bow side.

This bulge was likely caused during filming in Tunisia, where the intense heat and sweat caused the felt to become pliable and the leather sweatband to fold over. This, combined with the hat’s exposure to sand and dust, resulted in the distinctive weathered look seen on screen.
