Ready for the Weather


As the United Kindom is hit by a very wet stormy day, I've found this set of pictures of someone who looks ready for the weather.


Many so-called cowboy hats are all basically the same shaped hat until the crown is dented, this one has 2 parallel dents and a relatively flat top, this makes cattleman style, at least according to one website.



This isn't a good quality cowboy hat and wouldn't survive the real world, but OK for fancy dress and LRP


Worn alongside a full-length brown waxed coat.

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
