Börk hat

Börk is a type of Turkish man's cap or headdress


Shaped similar to a beanie hat or acorn hat it's usually made of several sections sewn together


Traditionally made of animal hide, leather fur



Börk was traditionally worn by Turkmen tribes living in Iran and Anatolia, Seljuk, and also Ottoman armies.


The hat was advertised as Ottoman Turkish Kayi Bork Authentic Hat Dirillis Ertugrul othamn Fur Alp cap

Hood with Buckles

There seems a theme with fantasy hoods to have them open at the front when they should just be items that pull over your head.


This can only be for aesthetics, it gives the maker a place to add extra decoration and make it a more desirable item. In this case 2 buckles.

Less Distressed Cap

This baseball cap is a lot less distressed than the last one


This hat was sprayed with carpet glue and then rolled around in anything that might stick to it.


Looking at it now, it needs a lot more work, it still looks like a new hat that's got a bit mucky


White spray paint to seams and edges places that might wear and fade and then some sanding I think.

Distressed Baseball Cap

 This is basic blue baseball cap purchased for £3 pounds 

I then distressed to make it look well used for a post-apocalypse environment



Now there are lots of online videos teaching you how to distress items, from dragging behind cars to burying in the mud for 6 months.




But the easiest and quickest way is a mixture of spray paint and coarse sandpaper.


and then just rub in the dirt, possible while the paint is still wet.
