I make these hats for many types and styles of people. So I use many types and styles of fabric. Basically there are 4 different thicknesses of fabric that I use.
1.Very lightweight ex: eyelet material. Sometimes the O.R.'s have to be excessively warmed. A thinner hat helps ALOT on these cases!
2. lightweight -- some solid bouffants, you can almost see through them. These are my personal favorite.
3 regular or quilting material
4. A little thicker/stiffer than quilting material. A little stiffer and keeps its nice rounded shape better. Like the Blue Flames!, Steelers fabric, etc. Lots of us get cold in the O.R. A thicker hat helps with heat retention.
If a hat is not your simple average (#3) normal weight fabric, I try to mention something about that in my listings. |
