Hat With Badge

 This black fabric hat is a basic bag form with its edge rolled back on itself to form the brim.

It could fit many periods from Medieval or older to the present day.

Decorated with a metal badge, it gives it a more medieval feel, although the fabric is far from authentic for the period.

Red Decorated Sombrero

The Sombrero the traditional hat of Mexico

A Sombrero in Mexico is any wide-brimmed hat, although for most people outside the region it is also a hat with its brim upturned along its edge.

Its main function is the protection of the head and shoulders from the Sun.

Some like this one can end up highly decorated and are used by Mariachi folk music performers.

This I believe is a full Sombrero but in Mexico there are many types with names suchas Quinciano, Diechinueve, Veintiuno, Veintisiete, Traditional sombrero or modern sombrero.   

 

Houngan Hat

 This small top hat was a Christmas gift

The hat is decorated with bones and feathers giving it a distinct theme.

The theme in mind is Houngan Priest for the undead or Voodoo religion

I think it might look better with a more colourful headband, red maybe, so may swap this out in the future.

Rusty Red Wool Hat

A muffin style medieval hat. 

Made from wool fabric.

This hat is more rusty red in real life than in the photos.

This hat was a freebie from a friend who was downsizing his costume hoard he had to create house space.

Photos were taken using my mobile phone which create a little bit of fish eye look
