Brown Felt Hat 2

A brown felt wide-brimmed hat with the brim sewn up to the crown on 2 sides 


I've posted this hats twin previously here both came from a batch of hats which were being sold £2


With the look of this hat and the padded jack, I'm wearing I'm sure it belongs to a medieval cannon crew 


Worn at an odd angle for the photos not sure why

Naval Beret

The dark blue beret is complete with Queen's crown naval officer's badge. 

Somebody said do you need a hat, well I could have said no I have plenty but then again 1 more why not.

Gifted from a friend.

Hat from Siam

This particular hat was from a set of theatrical hats being sold on eBay from a production of the King and I 


There is no label in the hat so it could be a courtier or one of the Kings children.


I think it makes an excellent oriental courtiers hat.

Australian Bush Hat

Australian Bush Hat, that's what it says on the label 

This hat is made of leather with a wide brim to protect the wearer from the sun and rain.

The leather is a bit mouldy but will easily polish out, whoever owned it last must have put it away damp.



Around the crown is plaited leather band, its got a cowboy hat feeling and is probably a style used by Australian cattle ranchers.


The crown is creased telescope style from the way its made


Like most bush hats it's vented in the side
