Another Black Hat with Badge

This is a different hat with a different badge to one posted in March, although very similar 

So it seems when I took these photos that I was in a mood to pull funny faces.

A kind of muffin cap but the crown is not quite baggy enough

Leather Wide Brimmed Hat

A soft leather wide-brimmed hat. 

Too tall to be a boater and not quite a top hat in falls between to two.

There is no stiffening or hardening of the leather, this adds to the comfort and softens the shape..

Brown Wool Cap

This great cap is made from wool, typical of the muffin cap style used in the late medieval period and onwards.

Came as part of a pile of kit from somebody given up the LRP hobby.

Excellent hat, needs to get used

You can even change the look by pulling up the crown. 

 

Hat With Badge

 This black fabric hat is a basic bag form with its edge rolled back on itself to form the brim.

It could fit many periods from Medieval or older to the present day.

Decorated with a metal badge, it gives it a more medieval feel, although the fabric is far from authentic for the period.

Rusty Red Wool Hat

A muffin style medieval hat. 

Made from wool fabric.

This hat is more rusty red in real life than in the photos.

This hat was a freebie from a friend who was downsizing his costume hoard he had to create house space.

Photos were taken using my mobile phone which create a little bit of fish eye look 

 

Maroon Beret

 This beret is deep maroon red.

Maroon berets are associated with Airbourne forces.

I found this hat in a giveaway box, it was quickly claimed by me, after all, collecting hats is what I do.

The original badge has been removed and replaced with a piece of yellow fabric.

Pictures were taken in the ruins of Ogmore Castle whilst on holiday

Gryffindor Beanie

This beanie is in the colours of the House of Gryffindor from the Harry Potter stories

It also has a Gryffindor badge on the front

As far as remember nobody in the films wore a Gryffindor beanie, but there are plenty fans who will know for sure.

A comfortable machine knitted beanie, suitable for spell caster of most ages

Hat are very useful for those cursed with the Calvorio spell 

 

Blue Beret

 This is a blue beret, the lighter blue, not the darker navy blue used by British naval forces.

The Blue Beret is use by various military and some police forces around the world

The most notable use is by UN peacekeeping forces.

In the photo below and start of this post, I'm using for a character in a post-apocalypse lrp 

Beret are the best hats for military or revolutionary groups

Fake Fur Beanie

 This is a faux fur-trimmed knitted beanie.

With a very wide band of fur the hat is also lined with fleece, this makes it an excellent hat for cold winter weather or since it's snowing again, today's lovely spring weather.

It includes fake fur pompom dangly things which hang from strips of leather, these are purely decorative and serve no purpose other than to entertain cats.

The hat was purchased from my favourite trader Chows Emporium, I recommend all her products, never been let down by quality or service.

I think the pompoms match my beard.
