Crafted in Sable felt to match the sandy hues seen on screen, the Temple Poet is a versatile favourite, suiting a range of face shapes and occasions. Each hat is handcrafted by our expert artisans, delivering timeless style with a 1930s flair.

Details

  • Felt: Sable pure beaver fur felt
  • Brim: Dimensional flanged brim
  • Ribbon: 38mm dark brown screen accurate galloon ribbon-band. Exterior bow knot fold.
  • Interior: Branded gold liner & mid tan soft leather sweatband, light gold embossing of brand and "I J"
  • Bash: Hand shaped Temple style

All our hats are handcrafted to order or for stock from only the finest sustainably sourced materials.

We work closely with our fur felt hood suppliers in Portugal, choosing only the highest quality fur felt which is ordered to our exacting specifications.

All our felts are preshrunk during the blocking stage to avoid later shrinking as much as possible. Our rabbit is pounced to a smooth finish and a coating of protector is applied to prolong its resistance to the elements. Whilst not as dense as our beaver fur felts, our rabbit makes a very fine quality fur felt hat.

Our Indiana Jones styles include our true grosgrain Indy ribbon which is accurate to the original film hats, still produced to the same specifications for us and woven by the very same machines.

Avoid handling your hat by the crown as you could wear out the front pinch. Holding your hat by the brim is the best way to handle any hat. We advise against wearing your hat in heavy rain. If your fur felt hat does get wet, shake off any excess water and allow to dry naturally placed brim faced down at room temperature. Never force dry your hat using any form of heat source. If required, use your hands to gently reinforce the shaping of the crown and brim. When completely dry, lightly brush to clean.

Size Fit

When measuring for a Herbert Johnson hat, please place string or tape around your head above your ear and across the mid forehead, completely circling your head. Hold the tape firmly, but not too tightly. Measure your head exactly where you want the hat to sit. It may help to either do this in the mirror or have someone to help for accuracy. Measure in centimetres. If your measurement falls between sizes, round up to the nearest half centimetre and/or email your exact measurement to our team and they will be happy to advise you.

For more information please email enquiries-hj@herbert-johnson.co.uk.

A professional measuring service is also available at our Swaine stores on New Bond Street and at the Burlington Arcade.
