Wool / Felt
Wool Felt
Wool felt is a non-woven fabric made by pressing and fulling wool fibers together — the natural scales on wool fibers lock together under heat, moisture, and pressure, creating a dense, uniform fabric without weaving. Wool felt is the standard for hats (especially fedoras, bowlers, and structured caps), structured bags, appliqué, and any application where the fabric needs to hold a specific shape without a stiffener.
