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

Bucket Hat

 A Bucket Hat 

A bush hat is similar to a bucket hat but has a stiffer brim.


A bush hat is a form of wide-brim hat commonly used by military forces



Also known as a Boonie hat by Americans  


 The hat as a fabric tape band of loops is sewn around the hat's crown. This ring is meant to hold additional vegetation/foliage as camouflage. 


Complete with vented crown


Brim up or Brim down, I think with the brim up you will gather a nice puddle in the rain to tip on friends.

Hood Scarf

This hood is not quite a hood, it has no fastening at the front

Its also not a head scarf since its shaped to be a hood 


So let's call a hood scarf


Maybe you are supposed to do the front joining yourself.

Black Hat

 

This black hat is a chaotic mess of fabric loosely sewn together to form a turban-like headpiece.


This is one of those hats I struggle to categorise, found unloved in a sales box at a kit fair.


I think maybe ladies hat.


The hat also feels like something somebody might wear to a funeral.

Shell Covered Hat

 A shell-covered pill box-shaped hat.


The hat is heading towards Fez shape but doesn't quite make it.


The main decoration of this hat is the sea shells, some form of sea snail shells I think.


Applied in geometric patterns they give this hat a unique look.



Also come complete with a tassel.


I believe it's a one-off, but could be wrong.
