I think that any hat that is felted is so densely felted together that it is
very durable. I don't know of any solution that makes a hat stiff. Must be
one though.

I've heard people talk about making hats out of theatrical buckram. But I
didn't think that Buckram, as we know it, existed in the 16th century. If
not, then what DID exist as "Buckram"? What were the internal structure
of hats made out of?
Along with "bokeram" and the other things recently mentioned, there's also
vellum. For that matter, my local leather store sells something I can't
remember the name of that's very hard, about 1/4"+ thick, and looks
strangely like translucent fiberglass (but is some form of leather). You
could CARVE a hat out of that stuff.
Melanie, do you have any idea how the felt was stiffened? I have a big bag
full of wool dryer lint I've been meaning to experiment with, and an even
bigger bag of teeny tiny wool scraps...
