The felt is a fabric made of compressed wool fibers. The main use of it are hats but it's very versatile and the possibility to keep a shape make it suitable for scuptural pieces and origami experiments

Fantastic felt origami coats and jackets by Alexandra Verschueren
These coats are dynamic,as you can see some of them have an appereance closed,kind of classic but when opened reveal their uniqueness.
What i can say of the white coat?Fantastic,the body is essential,the neck undefined,the design unisex,all to exalt the bold unexpeted statement sleeves

Fantastici cappotti stile origami by Alexandra Verschueren
Questi cappotti sono dinamici, chiusi hanno un aspetto piuttosto classico ma aprendoli rivelano la loro particolarità,un taglio origami e inaspettato.
Che dire poi del cappotto bianco? Un taglio essenziale, quasi indefinito dritto e unisex,un collo neanche accennato,tutto per mettere in risalto le maniche uniche e sorprendenti.

YVES SAINT-LAURENT - WOOL FELT HAT - Yves Saint Laurent
YSL felt hat 165 EUR

The new trend: Big floppy wool hats for winter.
An headpiece add character to a simple outfit. The floppy hat add mystery and it's chic. For this season your hat has to be black and wide. In the YSL commercial it covers all the face, we don't want to go so dramatic, leave your face exposeded but choose a wavy design. How to wear it? Don't overdo!The wide floppy hat it's a statement on its own! Pair it with something simple: a simple coat!
And now: where we can buy this hat?
I found this one from American Apparel and i think it's perfect (aldought i would prefere it black). I'm always interested on how things are done and i found a video on how american apparel produces their floppy hats. If you're curious too, have a look!
