Galactic Empire Cap

This hat is a novelty representation of an officer's cap in the Star Wars universe. 


The rank of First Order in the Galactic Empire 


The hat was originally purchased to be given away as a gift to a star wars fan, but unfortunately was not of good enough quality, so ended up in my junk hat pile.


Made of poor quality fabric over the foam to provide the shape, glued rather than stitched in places and complete with a badge that spikes through the foam into the forehead, making it almost impossible to wear. Avoid if you see it my recomendation. 


Also, it looks grey in the advert, what came is black. 

Better cosplay star wars hats are available although may cost a bit more would be worth it.

Brown Wool Cap

This great cap is made from wool, typical of the muffin cap style used in the late medieval period and onwards.


Came as part of a pile of kit from somebody given up the LRP hobby.



Excellent hat, needs to get used


You can even change the look by pulling up the crown.

Corinthian Helmet

This is a Copy of a Corinthian helmet that was used from 8thC BC to 1stC AD 

The helmet was worn by Greek Hoplites (Greek Citizen Soldiers) and got its name from Corinthia, an ancient Greek city-state.


The helmet would have been made from bronze, this copy is made of pressed steel and coloured to look the part.


Not all Corinthian helmets have plumes however this copy does, this would have been made of horsehair.


This helmet is not mine as it was donated to our club.
