What is "Wool Felt"?

When we were young, we all used felt fabrics to glue onto papers and make Thanksgiving Turkeys. But when it comes to clothing, especially fedoras, felt has slightly different meanings, or we say, implications. If someone describes a fedora as 100% Wool Felt, it means two things:

100% Wool	Fabric is 100% Wool, no synthetic fabrics.
Felt	The fabric is NOT woven, but made by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. It does not indicate what fabric it uses. Examples are: Wool Felt, Polyester Felt and Mixed Felt.

So in this case, 100% Wool Felt fedora means the fedora is made from 100% wool as fabric and the wool is nonwoven, but felt treated to introduce a better structure as well as comfort.

Wool felt is cozy, sturdy, and flexible. It's used a lot to make clothes, decor, crafts, and hats. This is an ideal material to make fedoras to wear in winter. The manufacturing process requires wool felt to be sewn, glued, or cut into different shapes and sizes.

Finally, wool felt comes in different colors and thicknesses. It can be dyed or decorated in creative ways. Check out the huge wool felt fedora collection offered by Suits Outlets.
