The Monk Hat is intended to be one that the great pianist and composer Thelonious Monk would have appreciated. Loosely based on the hat Monk is wearing in a picture used for the cover of the 1969 album Monk Plays Duke, this hat is cut with six panels, meeting at a short knitted cotton bootlace tassle.

The hat is fully lined with cotton calico and has an internal cotton herringbone band.
