This traditional Portuguese felt hat features a wide, flat brim, a slightly conical crown, and a classic strap. It first appeared in the early 20th century in the bullfighting regions of Ribatejo and Alentejo.

Today, it’s known simply as the Portuguese hat—or “A Portuguesa”—and is still proudly worn by riders during prestigious Lusitano dressage events.

With its bold style and timeless design, this hat looks just as striking off the horse as it does in the arena. Crafted entirely from 100% wool felt, it’s built to last, combining elegance and durability in true artisan fashion.

How to determine the size of your hat?

  1. Use a sewing ribbon or a simple cord to go around your head, above your ears, on the middle of your forehead.
  2. Hold the ribbon firmly, but not too tightly as if you were wearing the hat.
  3. Read the measurement in centimeters, this is the size of the cap you need.
  4. The average size is 56 cm for women and 58 cm for men.
  5. If your measurement is between the sizes, choose the next size up
