The material is initially prepared to make it stiff and  to give the hat its structure. It is then passed through a steam box so  that the moisture makes it malleable. The hatmaker takes it out and  stretches it over its wooden block.  The block,  made from limewood, generally has two parts, the crown and the brim.  Once the material has been applied and stretched on the block, it is dried in an oven at 90 °C."
