Fur hats are included in the list of the most common types of hats. Both women and men are happy to wear them. Such products perfectly retain heat, suitable for wearing with a fur coat, coat, sheepskin coat and any other outerwear. In addition, caps made of natural fur look solid and elegant.
If you are going to a specialty store for a new thing, you should prepare for the fact that the buyer will have to choose a model from dozens of styles, colors and shapes. In this case, the caps also differ in the type of fur used. Furs simultaneously affects not only the appearance, but also the performance of the product and, of course, its cost. In the list of the most affordable options, from a financial point of view, they call a hat from a muton. What is it and is it worth considering a product as a worthy version of a headgear?
What is a muton
If everything is clear with the mink, fox and rabbit hats, then questions may arise about the muton. And really, from what are muton fur coats and hats made?
In fact, a muton is a sheepskin, but not quite ordinary, so it’s not so easy to sew a hat from a muton with your own hands. To turn an ordinary
sheep skin into a soft noble muton, a lot of time and effort has to be spent. At the first stage of processing, the pile is sheared to give a length of 10 mm. Then follows the dyeing of the fur and thorough processing with a special chemical composition. The result is a luxurious fur that can easily compete with more expensive
furs.
Advantages of Mouton Hats
Despite the rather affordable cost, products from such fur can boast excellent external data and a long service life. So what should you expect from a mouton thing?
- The service life of such a headgear reaches 10 years. This is several times more than that of the Arctic fox, silver fox, mink and many other elite furs.
- In appearance, the caps from the processed sheepskin are in no way inferior to more expensive models from other furs. Moreover, now manufacturers offer a huge selection of shapes and colors.
- The price of a hat made of mouton will certainly please, especially taking into account all the above advantages.
Earflaps
Not every woman dares to put on a hat of such a cut, and in vain. Hats with earflaps are real champions in protection against cold weather. Assembled with earflaps looks elegant and feminine.
This option is suitable for wearing almost every woman. However, the transforming cap is most suitable for those regions where winters are especially harsh and windy. It is worth untying the tape that holds the ears of the cap in the assembled position, as it turns into a mega warm hat. The appearance of models of winter hats from a muton is laconic, so there should not be any special problems with the selection of a wardrobe.
It is worth noting that the number of fans of earflaps over the past few years has increased markedly. And all because designers around the world rely on ethnic motifs in clothes.
Boyar
Boyars - hats made of rounded fur with a hem. Its style is largely due to the increased demand for retro. However, this is not the only point. Boyar caps are really elegant, luxurious and feminine. They got their name for the reason that in headdresses of such a style in Russia the boyars and other noble people showed off.
Mouton is deservedly called one of the best materials for sewing such hats. Quite often, the crown is made of leather, and the trim is made of muton. Women's caps from a muton look the same original, complemented by another type of fur.
Papakha
Many probably know this type of headgear as a hat. This is a tall cylindrical hat made of fur, which is part of the national costume of many nations.
Do you think that hat is an exclusively male headdress? Perhaps, but it was before the designers created elegant female models. Now the hat from the muton is a spectacular little thing that no fashionista will refuse.
Fur hats with a visor
A visor on a women's fur hat is not uncommon. In this case, the style of the headgear itself can be completely different. Visors are decorated with caps, earflaps and some other styles of hats.
Mouton in this case becomes the ideal material for the production of hats. The fact is that any hat with a visor requires a clear outline, otherwise the effect is lost. Stylish, non-trivial, such a thing is suitable for girls and women of any age.
Men's Mouton Hats
Men's fur hats have long been considered an indicator of wealth. Indeed, a few centuries ago, fur was such an expensive commodity that only wealthy people could afford products from it.
Since then, much has changed, everyone can choose a warm, comfortable hat, especially if the product is made of mouton.
Salons of fur products are ready to offer a wide range of styles, including:
- classic earflaps;
- blende (adopted the style of earflaps, but devoid of ears);
- caps of several varieties;
- capes.
Each of the options described above is great for sewing from a muton. A short smooth pile allows you to repeat and emphasize every detail. Often when sewing men's hats, a tandem of mouton and leather (or suede) is used.
You can wear a fur hat with absolutely any type of outerwear (leather or quilted jacket, coat, sheepskin coat) - it is worth choosing the style and model correctly.
As for color solutions, men's hats are restrained and concise. More often there are models made in black, dark and light brown, dark blue. In short, in the assortment, everyone will find what he was looking for.
It turns out that the term “muton”, incomprehensible to many, is not an unprecedented beast at all, but only a carefully crafted sheep skin. But did this make men's and women's mouton hats less attractive? Hardly. On the contrary, many probably decide to buy just such a hat, because the external and operational characteristics are indeed worthy of attention.
