Hairhat

 This is a third wig, third hat, third headband.


I suppose for the balding gentleman its the ideal hat for imitating an 80s tennis player.


Pointed out to me by a work colleague I just had to have one and they come in several colours so you can match your hair colour, this colour turned out to be a good match.


I think this hat makes me look several days younger and intend to wear it to embarrass myself whenever I can.


Even the cat is not impressed.


Described as wig hat, they come nice and cheap all the way from China

Börk hat

Börk is a type of Turkish man's cap or headdress


Shaped similar to a beanie hat or acorn hat it's usually made of several sections sewn together


Traditionally made of animal hide, leather fur



Börk was traditionally worn by Turkmen tribes living in Iran and Anatolia, Seljuk, and also Ottoman armies.


The hat was advertised as Ottoman Turkish Kayi Bork Authentic Hat Dirillis Ertugrul othamn Fur Alp cap

Hood with Buckles

There seems a theme with fantasy hoods to have them open at the front when they should just be items that pull over your head.


This can only be for aesthetics, it gives the maker a place to add extra decoration and make it a more desirable item. In this case 2 buckles.

Less Distressed Cap

This baseball cap is a lot less distressed than the last one


This hat was sprayed with carpet glue and then rolled around in anything that might stick to it.


Looking at it now, it needs a lot more work, it still looks like a new hat that's got a bit mucky


White spray paint to seams and edges places that might wear and fade and then some sanding I think.
