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 

 

Fancy Posh Hat

 This brown hat has lots of decoration

In the style of a muffin cap, i.e. a headband with baggy loose crown.

The hat includes a decorative fabric headband, decorative badges/beads around the headband with a large broach badge in the same style at the front.

a bunch of orange feathers behind the main badge and a lace-like fabric decorating the join between the headband and loose crown.

This feel like a posh nobles hat or at least the hat of someone who wants to appear wealthy.

It's even comfortable to wear.

Helicopter Hat

 When you need to get somewhere quick you need a helicopter hat.

Powered by humour this hat will get you where you need to be as quick as you can walk, run or drive with the hat on, in fact, if you wore it on a plane you would travel as fast as the plane.

A Hat Fact

The possibly oldest hat ever found still in one piece was on the body of a bronze-aged man whose body was found frozen in the mountains between Austria and Italy. 

Estimated to be from around 3250 BC, so over 5 thousand years old.

The hat was a bearskin cap with a chinstrap made of several hides stitched together.

This green hood features a unique feature

The long scarf that forms part of the hood. 

This feature makes it very versatile to create a couple of different looks, such as wrapping it around the neck and down your back or just down the front.
