Brown Felt Hat


 This hat is the same hat as in my post one hat many styles but in brown not black.


The basic felt hat from Primark cost  £2 in their sale.


 In this light drab brown it seems less elegant so more suitable for practical everyday use, perhaps a sun hat for a farmer 


I'm seeing a grizzly, grumpy old man wearing it, hence to photos, but make your own look.


 Time for a bit of gurning.



Not sure I would win a gurning competition, I think you need to lose all your teeth first.


Below what happens when the brown felt hat gets wet.

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.

Oh no not another baseball cap

The baseball cap, probably the most common modern hat after the beanie


I only have half a dozen, some really good ones, most like this holiday memorabilia.

Foam Fantasy Helmet


This helmet is pure fantasy.


Made from foam glued together, cut, shaped and eventually covered in latex.


It has many elements from a greek hoplite's plumed helmet, but the rest are creative additions by the maker to give a striking look.


This fantasy helmet as been part of Ascendancy LRP kit for a while, not sure what it was made for or when it was made.
