Measure & shape
We take your head measurement and discuss style, material and use. We try the shape against your face.





Hand-blocked on a wooden form, natural felt and straw, shaped to your head and your face. Not an accessory off the shelf, but a piece that makes you.
Off-the-shelf hats come in three sizes and fit almost no one. We block each piece on a wooden form to your head measurement — and tune the shape to your face too. Natural felt and straw, hand-sewn bands and linings. A hat that lasts years and can be reshaped, not thrown away.

You don't wear a good hat. It wears you — and you just lift your chin.founder of the CLOCHE atelier

Write what kind of hat you're after and for what occasion. We'll get back and arrange a head measurement in the atelier.
