The Indiana Jones fedora (with the unmistakable silhouette of the Dressed Up Indy) is likely the instantly recognizable wool felt hat in today's world, although any hat shape can of course be crafted from wool felt. Look at those svelte wool felt lids, The Rocker, a porkpie from Stacy Adams and the Scala Jazz Porkpie. We'd also like to bring Edward VII to our not-so-humble fashion table, this wool felt topper being a classic dress homburg. When it's an ivy cap in wool felt you desperately seek, I think you'll agree that The Scala Ascot is your answer. It's got the sleek style; the fall colors; the incredible price. Get your ivy in Black, Camel, Charcoal and Loden. The Mad Hatter Top Hat may not be exactly what you had in mind when you started browsing, but why not? Make a statement at your next event (or make the event itself!). Traditional, dignified, and not a rabbit in sight.

Wool felt works in snap brim hats, like the slightly edgy New Yorker Fedora from Scala and in stingy brim men's hats too, like The Dapper Dan from Stacy Adams, with its center dent, one-pleat band and spotted feather. That this durable material can be stylishly shaped is further evidenced by Stacy Adams with their rendition of the Capone-inspired fedora, The Mafioso, and with the dress hats from Cassel Goorin: namely, the silk-lined Clockwork Bowler with a corded band giving it a nice touch, and their slope fedora called The Clark.
Stetson uses a blend of cashmere and wool felt to bring forth their handsome pinch front fedora, The Fulton, as well as the welt-edged Pisa; but with the little-bit-western Ghurka fedora, they actually use a blend of genuine kangaroo fur with wool felt. With the pack-it-and-run Crushable New Yorker and Scala's aptly-named Fedora rounding out today's cattle call of men's wool felt hats, you've got some choices to make. Have fun, and no fighting!
