The Hat Thread

[luckycardslady]

I love my baseball cap, it makes me feel sexy.

I forgot to mention budgetary constraints :gulps

The boutique around the corner from Sloane Sq tub-station is not cheap..but I'd go there for the sheer inspiration all the same..

Too bad you weren't wanting crazy old-fashioned hats for personal use! I make stuff like that upon occasion. Below you will see my silliest hat to date

You could make me a fetishy/kinky inspired one for my personal use....give us a pm.

It would really be fun to make your own!

It shouldn't be that complicated if you gather the materials, but if you're not up for that, i'd suggest some themed stores that perhaps may carry the meshy face veils, i quite like them actually.

Straightaway I know that when it comes to arts and crafts you would piss me out of the boat (colliqualism at its best) - My skills lie plainly in the ideas factory and purchase capacity!

@ softgrey, I am off to find my favourite section!

 

[softgrey]

search under gothic lolita as well...possibly in trendspotting...
i remember some websites from japan which sold very adorable and odd little hats...
not really familiar..but they will be listed there...

Fedoras

Does anyone know where to get a fedora of good quality? I was looking at some on ebay but its kind of hard to buy hats without trying them on.

 

[*Happiness*]

I found some at Bloomies and this store in the Beverly Center called Up Against the wall. I bought a nice orange tweed one.

 

[Kimkhuu]

Probably at vintage shops, though I personnally don't like fedoras.

I actually bought two a while back from ravinstyle since they weren't expensive and thought they were charming.

The designer is ChaCha's House of Ill Repute:

I can't get a direct link to the fedoras, but they are at this site.

La Redoute had a nice wool one a few months back.

Some results of the hat hunt...

This is one of the two feather hats I managed to purchased from a Millner that sells off a stall in Camden. This one had a lot more height and I will try and upload more pics as I get them.

 

[SJPdeux]

This is a shot of the flat feather one...

I'll have soon similiar one , just two euros for trift store. But , om , I'm not going to wear it.

Summer Hat

Okay I need a big floppy sun hat preferably straw but tightly woven. But I can't seem to find any. Also I don't want to spend a fortune on it. Thanks

ebay

 

[Renie]

I'm looking for one too /: Ebay might be the way to go, since we don't have tons to spend. I like trying things on before I buy though, even hats..

 

[As You Like It]

I've seen them at a JC Penny's outlet before, and at K-Mart and Wal-Mart before. It really shouldn't be too hard of an item to find.
