This capeline is made from large uniform strip straw and has a classic 1x1 check weave. It's bold yet simple, and will certainly make the most lovely summer hat. It has a nice clean brim edge which is sturdy enough to hold it's shape without flopping, so a good blocking of the crown may be all you need to make this a thing of beauty! 

Capeline measures:
Flat measurement from crown tip to brim: 30.4cm (12 inches)
Brim width from side crown to brim edge: 12.5cm (4.9 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 inbetween 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.
