Christmas Pudding Hat

 Christmas Pudding Novelty Hat


Unlike the Novelty Christmas hat posted last week, this one is much better


Being better probably has more to do with its simple shape, which makes ok to wear and allows my head to form the pudding shape.


People also recognise it as a Christmas pud, and if not it says Merry Christmas on the front so people still get it.


Ho Ho Ho, merry Christmas

Brussel Sprout Hat

This is a Novelty Brussel Sprout Hat 

A gift from Christmas last year


Novelty hats are always cheap and throw-away quality, they are fun for about a minute so don't want much, something people will recognise and something that stays on your head and in shape.


This hat failed, most people needed to be told it was a brussel sprout and it also needs a bit of pulling to stay in shape.


As was a gift no idea if this was cheap, I mean  £2 or £3 pounds, £5 would be way too much.

A Military Beret

 A friend used this beret as part of a Royal Air Force costume before being passed on to me.


The hat badge says RA which could be Royal Artillery not R.A.F., however, I can't seem to find a clear answer. 


The nearest I can find is WW1 badge

Retro Style Helmet

This a motorbikers helmet or perhaps horse riding helmet, maybe both, could not say for sure as it came to me free


The 2 tone leather with white stitching gives a retro styling, particularly if it's intended as a motorbiker helm. 


It would look good with a pair of goggles to finish the look.


I have a similarly finished hat, but that was more military styling and not well made enough to be proper protection.

Brown Felt Hat 2

A brown felt wide-brimmed hat with the brim sewn up to the crown on 2 sides 


I've posted this hats twin previously here both came from a batch of hats which were being sold £2


With the look of this hat and the padded jack, I'm wearing I'm sure it belongs to a medieval cannon crew 


Worn at an odd angle for the photos not sure why

Naval Beret

The dark blue beret is complete with Queen's crown naval officer's badge. 

Somebody said do you need a hat, well I could have said no I have plenty but then again 1 more why not.

Gifted from a friend.
