A. B. WARING. FELT HAT. APPLIOATION FILED NOV.19, 1912.

4 TTORNEV ARTHUR B. WABJING, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
. FELT HAT.
YB. Course, of America, county and a State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Felt Hats,
of which the following is a specification,
reference being 'had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.
My invention relates to felt hats, and its object is to provide a hat of novel and attractive appearance. In general this novel effect is attained by making the different portions or surfaces of a hat of different colors or character.
I will now describe my invention in the following specification and then point out the novel features thereof in appended claims.
Both of the two figures of the drawings are perspective views of hats embodying my invention and similar characters of reference are used in both of the figures to designate corresponding parts.
The hat illustrated in the drawings is a soft felt hat of which 10 is the crown, 11 the upper surface of the brim, and 12 the under surface of the brim.
In order that this invention may be fully understood I will describe one way in which the hat may be made. A mixture is made of felting material and a small proportion of non-felting material such for example, as animal fibers and vegetable fibers. more specific example the mixture may be of 85% fur and 15% ramie. A hat body of this mixture is formed and then shrunk. In the shrinking process the fur felts and covers the ramicso that the latter does not show upon the surface. The hat body thus formed may be pounced or abraded a sufficient amount to bring it to a smooth surface without materially altering its looks or appearance. A further amount of pouncing, especially if a rougher abrasive such as coarser sand-paper is used, will rub off enough of the exterior felted fur fibers to disclose the unfelted intermingled ramie fibers which were beneath the surface. The surfaces thus treated will have a different appearance in color or in character from the parts which are not thus subjected to further abrasion. This is because the two kinds of fiber are unlike in looks. In fact the Specification 01 Letters Patent.

Application filed. November 19. 1912. Serial No. 732,203.
contrast between them may be heightened the materials. or dyed any desired color. it is preferable to color it before it is mixed with the fur. If the fur is dyed it is better to do this after the shrinking process be cause dyeing decreases its felting properties. This may be done by dyes which have little or no eifeet upon the ramie. The process of making such a hat body is more fully described in a co-pending application for pet cnt Serial No. 732,202, filed by me herewith.
It is my intention to subject some of the surfaces of such a hat to more abrasion than others to thereby obtain a contrast in appearance between the different surfaces. Let us assume that the fur is dyed black but the ramie is allowed to retain its original whiteness. If the crown and the under surface of the brim of such a hat have the outside felted fibers rubbed off until the unfelted fibers appear, they will assume a gray color, as is represented at 10 and 12 in liigure 1.,while the upper surface 11 of the rim retains its black color. Or if preferred the crown and under surface of the brim may be left black as at 10 and 12 in Fig". 2, and
The ramie may be left white the upper surface 11 of the brim made Of course with a gray crown the up per surface of the brim may be gray and its under surface black, or both surfaces of the brim black, or with a black crown the upper surface of the brim may be black and its under surface gray or both surfaces of the brim gray. Or with different degrees of abrasion different shades of gray may be obtained. In this manner novel and attractive effects are produced.
The foregoing; is given the way hats may be made according to this invention. I do not limit myself to the use of fur and ramie, as wool and some other non-fclting material such as silk may be used. Nor do I limit lnyselfto the SP6". cifie proportions of the elements cited merelyas an example Any desired combinations of colors may be used. and if'dcsired the non-felting fibersmay be darker than the others instead of lighter. They may even be of the same color but of different character so long asirhe rubbed off surface or surfaces contrast in appearance from those which are not rubbed off. It is also gray.
If it is dyed as an example of .55 by artificially coloring one or the other of surface possible to obtain somewhat similar results by rubbing off one or more of the outer surfaces of a surface-dyed fabric.
W hat I claim is:
1. A felt hat made of a fabric having intermingled with the. felting fibers under the surface thereof with the felting fiber surface removed from one face,
non-felting fibers or more broad. hat surfaces to disclose the non-felting fibers and to contrast with other surfaces of the hat.
VEZFA felt hat made of a fabric having non-felting fibers unlike in appearance but mingled with the felting fibers beneath the thereof with the felting'fiber surface removed from one or more broad hat surfaces to disclose the non-felting fibersand to contrast with other surfaces of the hat.
3. A felt hat made of a fabric having vegetable fibers intermingled with animal fibers beneath the surface thereof with the ea ms of'this patent may beobtameWfor-five cents 'a'ch, byaadiiressmg the animal fiber surface removed from one or more broad hat surfaces to disclose the vegetable fibers and to contrast with other surfaces of the hat, said animal and vegetable fibers being unlike in appearance.
4:. A felt hat having a crown surface, an upper rim surface, and an under rim surand made of a fabric having non-felting fibers intermingled with animal fibers beneath the surfaces of the fabric, said animal fibers and non-felting fibers being of unlike colors, with the animal fiber surface of the fabric removed from one or more broad hat surfaces to contrast with other surfaces or surface of the hat.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of November 1912.
