Shiny Fez

This shiny hat I want to call a fez, but its some fantasy concoction

Possibly was originally made for something theatrical I suspect or maybe a particular Larp encounter it will remain a mystery as it was purchased from a 2nd hand stall at a Larp Fayre, with no labels or any clues

Cost me a £1 and I will find a use for it.

Constructed from lots of soft fabrics, glue and a bit of stitching, it has no real rigidity like a real fez.

White Cowphat

A flat cap or Cow-pat hat

This was part of job lot of RSC hats I purchased, all in very good condition.

See labels theatrical hats for other cow-pat hats that came as part of this set.

Shakespeare Might Have Made This

Another of the theatrical hats, this time a Tudor cow pat hat

No doubt an outcast from some Shakespearean production company.

A good all-round merchant to a noble hat to go with your Tudor costume

Red Chaperon

This Chaperon is part of the job lot of 6 theatrical hats I purchased.

Being made for theatrical use, aesthetic rather historical accuracy lead the design.

 That said a first glance it fits the bill, just ignore the fabric and way its made.

 The nice long livery pipe, scarf bit if you want attached to the side of the hat is nicely flamboyant.

Good to chew on 

or hide behind

Goblin Hat

A hat that is suitable for a Goblin.

This hat has been part of the groups LRP kit since well before I joined the group

Part knitted, part fabric, part leather, part hessian, part fur, partly embroidered, roughly stitched together, and well tatty this mix-up looks very homemade.

Highly suitable for some beggar, ancient tribal type, witch doctor, goblin or similar that is trying to stand out. 

This is hat is a very popular part of the crew kit

Minstrels Hat

This Robinhood style felt hat as been upgraded

The hat itself was originally posted here in 2015

But has been decorated with scrolls to sewn to the brim for the part of a minstrel.

The additions really change the hat, its become more theatrical and less authentic.

The scrolls were varnished before rolling and tieing with ribbons, in the hope they may survive a bit of damp weather.

Popey McPope Face

This religious looking hat was probably made for a theatre production.

A good prop, made of fabric, rope, gold-coloured thread and adorned with fake gemstones it makes the perfect hat for someone important in religion.

This hat is part of our group's crew kit, so not actually mine, its been around a quite a few years perhaps 20 plus, in the image below one of the crew members, wears it to play a cardinal.  

Chapo-turban

This chaperone from a set of medieval theatre hats is more Arabian Nights than medieval.

The fabrics that have been chosen along with the beads and sequins totally change the look of this headgear.

It now needs to be used for a character out of the stories of the Arabian Nights.

What's left of the fabric hangs down the back of the neck and is covered in sequins.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view, there was no genie in the lamp.

A hat! a hat! my Kingdom for a hat!

A mock Tudor period hat 

Whilst the correct shape, the materials are wrong and proportion a little exaggerated, although I have no doubt people in the period did add lots of flashy bits to make them stand out.

This hat came as part of a job lot of theatrical medieval hats I purchased via eBay.

Perfect for your Shakespearian play.

"A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!", said Richard not me but King Richard the Third at the battle of Bosworth, at least according to Sheakspear.
