WALKER AND HAWKES - Melton Wool 8-Panel Bridgemoor Baker Boy Cap

Description

The vintage Baker Boy style - in a soft and thick Melton Wool Fabric. Our Bridgemoor Cap is a classic design with natural rich colours thanks to the compact weave of Melton Wool. The thick outer material gives this cap great weatherproof qualities.Melton Wool was first produced centuries ago in the town of Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, UK. As a place widely considered the national hotspot for hunting and other outdoor sports, it embraced Melton Wool as an ideal fabric for hunting clothing due to its weatherproofing. Although it has a smooth, cushioned surface, it is thick and rigid due to the manufacturing process.Melton Wool is heavily ‘fulled’. This process involves first scouring the material to remove the natural contaminants contained within the wool such as oil and dirt.It is then milled. This increases the thickness and compactness using heat, moisture and friction, and results in a fabric which is both soft to the touch, thick and durable.We always strive to bring you a hat manufactured to the highest of standards.
