Not a cat in a hat

The hat the cat wore in Dr. Seuss children's book

This novelty hat ended up with me when a friend was having a clearout of their fancy dress kit.

Made from foam-like fabric and wire around the brim, it keeps its shape well

Rudolph hat

Poor Rudolf was hunted down and turned into a hat

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.

Shark Hat

A novelty hat where the shark appears to bite your head 

This hat is pretty poor, I think the concept is good, but the execution is poor.

The main problem is the hat has no stiffness so the shark's body falls flat, I managed to balance and fluff it a bit so it stood up for these photos, but if I moved my head too quickly it just callapsed again

The rest is just that horrible foam-covered fabric that they make lots of novelty hats from, a case you get what you pay for and you probably don't pay much five pounds would be expensive.

Galactic Empire Cap

This hat is a novelty representation of an officer's cap in the Star Wars universe. 

The rank of First Order in the Galactic Empire 

The hat was originally purchased to be given away as a gift to a star wars fan, but unfortunately was not of good enough quality, so ended up in my junk hat pile.

Made of poor quality fabric over the foam to provide the shape, glued rather than stitched in places and complete with a badge that spikes through the foam into the forehead, making it almost impossible to wear. Avoid if you see it my recomendation. 

Also, it looks grey in the advert, what came is black. 

Better cosplay star wars hats are available although may cost a bit more would be worth it.

Houngan Hat

 This small top hat was a Christmas gift

The hat is decorated with bones and feathers giving it a distinct theme.

The theme in mind is Houngan Priest for the undead or Voodoo religion

I think it might look better with a more colourful headband, red maybe, so may swap this out in the future.

Helicopter Hat

 When you need to get somewhere quick you need a helicopter hat.

Powered by humour this hat will get you where you need to be as quick as you can walk, run or drive with the hat on, in fact, if you wore it on a plane you would travel as fast as the plane.

A rainbow-coloured baseball cap, it comes with a small plastic propeller held in place by several beads and wire.

A party hat, although I saw a lot Googley people wearing one in the film 'The Internship'

Hats for Cats

 I should say I don't like dressing up animals, not something I have done before. however, it seems from gifts starting last Christmas some friends do.

Luckily one of my cats does not seem bothered by wearing a hat, at least for the few minutes it takes to take a photo.

The reindeer antlers hat is poorly designed crushing the cat's ears if pulled to the correct position.

The red Santa hat was much better light and mostly sitting between the ears and also coming with a cat scarf

The green knitted was by far the best with holes for my cat's ears it stayed straight and fit the best

My Ginger Tom was not so happy and immediately pulled it off his head
