If you are headed to Ascot this year, you'll want to wear something nice. A quality hat is easy to distinquish. Straw hat making is a time-consuming endeavor, as they are almost entirely hand woven. Straw is braided, and then sewn into shape. The most prized straw hats are produced with a fine straw, in a small, tight weave. A hat of good quality straw can take a weaver up to twenty-five hours to complete.

If you are buying a felt hat, look for wool felt, peachbloom, or fur felt, which is make from rabbit fur. More expensive felt hats are lined. Hat trim should be sewn on to the hat's form, not glued in place.

Many of the hats you see on the street are 'factory hats.' Mass produced, and made of lower quality materials, these hats are practical and mostly casual. Designer hats are a step up. They often have limited production runs and are made of high-quality materials.

The haute couture of the hat world is called "model millinery." These extravaganza hats are hand-sewn and placed together using only the finest materials. They're often made for a single customer who is attending a particular event, after which the design is retired.
