🎩 Hamburg Hat: Classic, Elegant & Refined
The Hamburg hat is a variation of the classic fedora with a firmer crown and slightly curved, downward-turned brim.
It looks polished and structured: smooth curves, clean geometry, and a wide ribbon make it a perfect accessory for both everyday and themed looks.
Most common fabrics used:
soft felt, wool, or velvety textures;
dense, smooth materials with minimal texture;
traditional colors include black, navy, graphite, brown, though any shade works for creative styling.

🔹 Step 1. Choose the Base
1. Open the hat creation project.
2. Select the crown and brim shape that resembles the Hamburg style.
🔹 Step 2. Shape the Silhouette

2. In Point Mode, form a ribbon around the crown.
3. Set the ribbon color — either contrasting or matching.

5. Use a light brush to add highlights on top for volume.
🔹 Step 5. Shadows & Highlights on the Hat
1. Return to the main hat layer.
2. Use a dark brush along the sides of the crown to add depth.
3. Add soft highlights in the center with a light brush.
4. Apply the same technique to the brim:
— shadows along the edges;
— lighter tones closer to the center.
