Party Fu

This is another Chinese novelty hat.

Looking through the odd hat book or two and websites, I can't really find anything historically like this.

The best I can come up with is novelty costume makers mixed Asian conical rice paddy hat with some oriental looking fabric and inventy this themselves. 

I as always may be proved wrong

Can be found Amazon, E-Bay and many other places for about £5 just search for Chinese hat

Way of the Dragon

Yet another oriental novelty hat

I now have 4 of these hats in different colours, they are all basically the same pattern, even the badge is the same symbol.

This style of hat I believe originates from the Chinese Qing Dynasty.

The best thing about these hats is they are cheap.

Dome Shaped Bamboo Hat

This hat was from a stall at Chatsworth Country Fair selling items mostly made of hemp, however, it did also include other items, such as this bamboo hat.

Bugatti Cap

This is a Bugatti Cap, essentially a flat cap combined with ear flaps like a trapper hat

It has earlaps that can be worn up making look like a traditional flat cap look or pulled down to warm your ears when the temperatures drop.

More importantly, the ear flaps tie together at the bottom with a button or press stud which keeps the hat on even in strong winds or while you're driving your open-topped sports car

Bugatti caps are normally made of a tweed fabric like this one 

I assume although I may be wrong the cap is named after the Bugatti cars which built its first racing car 1905.
