An old traditional hat that has met the latest Haute Couture. The Cordobès Hat is a round, stiff felt hat which hails from Cordoba in Spain. While originally it was popularised by workers for the shade provided by its stiff wide brim, it has very much infused itself into the traditional culture of Spain. Today it is an icon in many great Spanish Artforms – Flamenco, Bull fighting, Equestrian Arts and other traditional festivals in Southern Spain. It has become an integral part of the pageantry and spectacle. Dancers use it as a focal point in many routines and it regularly appears in costumes and celebrations. Antonio Garcia has been producing some of the finest hats in Sevilla, Spain since 1847 – specializing in the traditional andalusian hat. Made from rabbit hair, the sombrero comes in round hat box WORLDWIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED |
