Renaissance Hat

This hat is sometimes called a Muffin hat or cap, its of the same family as a modern chef hats, a popular lower class Renaissance period hat (15th to 17th Century Europe)

Made from basic usually lightweight fabric with no natural stiffness, with a access fabric sewn to 20 to 50cm wide headband that fits tightly around the head.

A very simple and easy to produce hat, the headband can sometimes be decorated.

This hat has no stiffened brim unlike renaissance flat caps or cow pat hats

I grabbed this off my friend Dave just as he was about to trade it, the hat did not make it to the bring and buy. 

You Didn't Like My Soup

Chefs Hat

I decided these photos needed bad food puns.

The last person who complained about my food food got grilled before he pasta away suddenly.

I have may have shellfish attitude but I'm not eggotistic.

What's the fly doing in your soup, the back stroke.

Anyway about the Hat.

The chefs hat, tall boy hat, white catering hat, is made to the same design as the artist hat a basic fabric hat, all white to show cleanliness. 

Can be worn tall or swept to the back or sides

Apparently more pleats = more senior the chef, or did when Chefs were invented back in the days before I was born.

The Artist

This hat made of lightweight fabric is made of the same design as chef 'tall boy' hat but the pattern on the fabric said to me, artist.

This hat has a head sized band to which the larger bonnet piece of fabric is pleated and attached. 

This hat was a very welcome and unexpected gift 

Cloth hats = Hats made from cloth/fabric.
