A Black Rosecomb bantam rooster with glossy black plumage, a white earlobe and a red comb, wearing a cream straw Panama hat with a black band and a brown leather work apron with tools in its pocket, standing on a wooden workbench in a sunlit hat workshop in Cuenca, wooden hat blocks, finished hats on the wall, bundles of pale straw and an iron hat press around him

The Smallest Size

The hats are made here and named after somewhere else, a mix-up the weavers have put up with, graciously, for well over a century. He has come to be fitted, and they have found him the smallest one in the workshop; it is still slightly too large.
