Calañes hat with strawberry trees

Calañés hat or Calañas hat is a traditional hat made in the municipality of Calañas, in the province of Huelva (Andalusia, Spain). Sometimes, the Calañés hat is called a beaver hat, because it is made with felt made with beaver hair or similar.

It is a hat with a low conical crown and an upturned brim forming a joint, with a trim at the tip of the cup and on one side of the brim. The calañés hat is a small shaped hat that is adjusted with a ribbon and is worn tilted to the side of the head. More than practical it is a decorative hat.

It is also known as a calañés hat to a hat with a not very high truncated conical crown and an upturned brim forming a joint. The latter is similar to the catite hat except in details of its shape and proportions and usually has a trim of fringes or fringes attached to the top of the crown and falling to one side of the hat. Both types can be worn over a scarf tied at the nape of the neck that covers the head.

The regional Calañés hats are usually used with the rondeño or bandit costume, both for men and women. Choose your calañés hat!
