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.

Kabuto

Kabuto or Samurai Helmet 

This is Kabuto is a theatrical mock-up made of lightweight plastic-like materials.

kabuto was made by combining dozens of thin iron plates around a central dome, usually iron but sometimes moulded and lacquered paper

Like medieval helmets they were often decorated with a crest, this one is themed around a rabbit.

Kabuto 1st appeared in the 10th Century

Shark Hat

A novelty hat where the shark appears to bite your head 

This hat is pretty poor, I think the concept is good, but the execution is poor.

The main problem is the hat has no stiffness so the shark's body falls flat, I managed to balance and fluff it a bit so it stood up for these photos, but if I moved my head too quickly it just callapsed again

The rest is just that horrible foam-covered fabric that they make lots of novelty hats from, a case you get what you pay for and you probably don't pay much five pounds would be expensive.

Jagged Turban

This theatrical turban has bits and loose ends all over the place it looks like it going to fall apart but its all sewn together.

Made from white cotton

The turban has lots of loose end to throw around your neck

 

Ethnic Skull Cap

This hat was described as a vintage ethnic cap with embroidery and mirrors.

While the seller's description of ethnic does not tie it to a particular culture, I think it feels Persian, like a Persian rug for your head. 

Found on Etsy for bargain price.

 

Another Black Hat with Badge

This is a different hat with a different badge to one posted in March, although very similar 

So it seems when I took these photos that I was in a mood to pull funny faces.

A kind of muffin cap but the crown is not quite baggy enough
