Ramie straw is known for it's fine yet rustic look, and these particular capelines are the most fantastic quality! Made up of tiny straw strands that have been woven into a classic checker pattern known as '1x1'. These capelines have been slightly panned which means the fibres have been ironed flat which gives off a smoother appearance.

Capeline measures:
Flat measurement from crown tip to brim: 27.9cm (11 inches)
Brim width from side crown to brim edge: 10cm (3.9 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 hats.
