SPECIAL ORDERS and COLOUR-MATCHING

Complete customisation!

The freedom to choose the base colour, and combination of colours for the trimming. For example, you may see a design made from sinamay in one colour but want it to be made from felt in 2 different colours - no problem - this is the service for you!

If you require a hat or headpiece made to match a colour exactly - we require a sample of the colour to match to - this can be a piece of the cloth or a sample from a paint colour chart. We can source materials and alternative fabrics, and can hand-dye most materials and feathers.

There is an additional charge for hand-dyeing/sourcing/matching.

(Dyeing is not possible for felt hats).

You can order using the SPECIAL ORDER choice from the colour menu (this option includes the dyeing/sourcing charge) and then you can add a comment in the "NOTES" box or CONTACT us with further details.

For further information - please see the RETURNS AND EXCHANGES POLICY.
Q: What do you mean by "Wearer's Left" and "Wearer's Right" for Hat Position or Hat Trimming Position?

A: Raise your right hand, (really, raise it in the air) - this is the "Wearer's Right" this means that the base of the hat will sit on this side of your head.

For full head hats or hats with level brims, when you choose "Trim Position" it means that the trimming on the hat will sit on the relevant side as mentioned above.
