      This bulky wool cap is inspired by 19th-century French caps. The wide shade and finely curled wool give this cap a feminine look.

These days, the gender stereotype of the world order is fortunately in turmoil, even in the clothing world, and thank you for that. At Wilgart, however, we do not believe in the rigid gender roles, but inspire that you can dress as you please. This offers you a little more opportunities to play with in attire for everyday and at parties. The hat is made by cap makers and not by hatters.
