Green Felt Cap
Pride or Privilege?
The green felt cap worn by the men and boys of House Ursanaa is traditionally associated with Central Dyodian Culture. Since before Dyodia's joining wih Nemea, men and boys of Noble lineage in the areas surrounding Greenhaven and the Threshold, have been known to wear this identifying garment.
Manufacturing process
While these caps are more often than not inherited, they do eventually wear out, and new ones must be made. The boys learn to do this themselves, as part of their basic sewing skills. The felt is cut to the pattern and desired size, then sewn together while wrong-side out. Once the thread is tied off, the hat is turned right-side out, and the brim folded up.
