Mobs
Mobs are useful as wear for in and around the house as a dust cap. If you use the fireplace or oil to heat your home, the mob keeps your hair clean for a little longer. It is also used as sleepwear for the same purpose. It may also be worn under another hat or bonnet.
Product details
The traditional colonial cotton mob is built from white cotton and lace. Currently, this is all that I am offering in this section. However, if you like the mob and would like to be more colorful, please feel free to choose from any of the fabrics that you see in the "sunbonnets" section and its subsections.
You do have other options as to trim and methods of securing. You have the option of lining, of making it reversible, of using lace or some other type of trim, of using elastic or some type of ribbon to tie and secure, and of any additional embellishments.
