Christmas Gifts, Hat Themed

This year I received a few hat themed gift for Christmas.

Starting with a knitted knights helmet from the Crazy Terry's complete with moveable visor.


The helmet will stop all blows to any self pride you have.



The next gift from fellow larper and friend Dom is a miniature Spanish style conquistadors Comb Marion helmet made of metal but 1/3rd scale.


I did try to balance it on top of my head but the photo came out blurred.



Not least but a proper hat that will used, is the one below, I best describe this as a cavaliers hat although perhaps a wider brim is order, decorated by Dave and Julie and presented to me by their daughter who was as excited to give it to me as I was to receive it.


Goes well with red Christmas present jumper.


Also jumping into the photo BB8



Last while digging out my Christmas wrapping a week or so ago I came across my old sallet which I thought I had sold see this post here.


A little bit rustier and the straps had rotted, I must have packed it away while damp.

Santa hat

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM RICHARD IN A HAT



I have no photographic evidence to prove Santa Claus ever wore this style of hat, but I've seen enough Christmas films to know its true.


Not having a Santa costume I had to improvise with photo shop

Santa's Helpers

In this hat I become one of Santa Clause helpers, a Elf.


Here you see me singing jingle bells to myself, oh what fun I have :)

This hats similar to a night cap.



Unfortunately this hat is made of a horrible hessian fabric that makes my head itch like crazy so its not one to wear often or for long.

All around my hat I will wear the Green Willow

This a great fun felt festival hat, I think it would be brilliant for Morris Dancing or perhaps just for standing out from the norm should you want to.


This hat fell into my hands while at Tewkesbury Medieval festival, I walked by the stall selling it several times thinking I don't need this hat but it kept punching me in the eye saying "buy me, buy me", like some hats do, and I have a very low resistance.


When I put this hat on for some reason I want to sing All around my hat I will wear the Green Willow (see here if don't know what I mean) and dance around my living room.
