Tudor Cap

This simple beige cloth pork pie is the universal Tudor cap


Worn by men and women in the Elizabethan era.

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

Cat in a Hat

Yesterday my cat went to sleep for the last time after providing companionship for 15years, so a couple of photos where she managed to get involved in my hat blog.
