Herringbone Pattern Smooth Toyo Paper Capeline Hat Body
Surprisingly robust, Toyo paper makes excellent summer hats and their smooth surface lends well to applying surface prints and even for painting onto! This weave of this particular capeline has a herringbone pattern.
Toyo is a smooth Japanese rice paper which can be stiffened using straw stiffener or a PVA glue solution.
Capeline measures:
Flat measurement from crown tip to brim: 28-30cm (11-12 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.
