Imperfect Knotted Honeycomb Pattern Paper Capeline Hat Body - 10.5"
This cream paper capeline has a nice open weave with a really cool irregular honeycomb pattern. Some of these capelines have been pre-stiffened.
We obtained a few of these beauties from a long-time hat manufacturer in England. These examples date to the 1980s-90's and we are so happy to share them with you!
Paper can be stiffened with straw stiffener or a PVA solution after blocking to keep it's shape tip top.
There are some mild discolouration in places. Priced to reflect these imperfections.
Capeline measures:
Flat measurement from crown tip to brim: 29.2cm (11.5 inches)
*Please note that this is not a finished hat but the 'body' to make one from scratch.*

Petershams Guide to hat bodies:
Cone: This is the perfect size for most fascinators and for blocking out hat crowns.
Flares: This is the size in between a cone and a capeline, so good for hats with smaller brims or larger fascinators.
Capelines: This is the largest hat body, great for wide brimmed fitted hats.
