Umbrella Hat

Umbrella Hat


 In theory, this is a great idea i.e. a hat that collapses and so you can stuff it in your pocket. 

However, keeping your head dry is much better served with a normal hat or even the hood of a rain mac which can scrunch down to much smaller units. 



 This is a novelty hat only.



The hat as shown collapses umbrella style, but in lieu central pole has several braces which fit into an elasticated band which grips to your head in a very uncomfortable way, that probably would not keep your hat in place in a gust of wind. 

I can see myself chasing this hat across a beach if there is a breeze.


 On the plus side the wide brim does provide extra sunshade and a little shoulder protection from the rain, so might be of some use, but unless I want a laugh I will pack a bucket hat for emergency use.

Hatmas

I was lucky to receive 6 hats for Christmas this year, although I have only photographed 5 as one is the same headlight beanie is repeated in a different colour.

So thanks Sam, Dom, Rich, Amy, Jock, Bridgette for my great gifts.


I will post about these individually in 2019 sometime


I also got this hat themed skull ornament, another great gift.

I also have a hat in mind to buy myself with Christmas voucher.

Christmas Tree Hat


This cheap festive hat is a perfect replacement for the typical Santa hat 


It has one downside, it malts tinsel everywhere, I've tried giving it a big shake even a vacuum, but still does not stop random bits of tinsel falling off everywhere 


On the upside, you can take the hat off, leave it on a shelf, desk, dashboard and you also have great static Christmas decoration.


Just noticed the star on top of the tree is twisted, so can't be seen in any of these photos.
