hatting
Placing head coverings
Hatting is the craft or trade of making hats.
The term appears mostly in historical contexts, when hat manufacturing was a significant industry.
Mercury used in the felting process caused neurological damage to workers—the origin of "mad as a hatter." He apprenticed in hatting before the trade declined.
