More is More

Hats on hats! Why wear just one hat, when you can wear three at once?

Hat of the Week: The 60s Jockey Cap

This mid-1960s black velvet jockey cap is obviously inspired by the English style horse riding helmet, but is also fashiony enough not to be mistaken for actual sports equipment. I love the bubble shape, it looks like something Audrey Hepburn might have worn in the movie Charade, with Cary Grant.

Meet Olivia

Just out, a brand new hat style. With an oval, fedora-like brim that flips up in back and dips down over one-eye. Can be made in lots of different color combinations. Listed now on Etsy. For more photos, see my flickr page.

Hat of the Week: Turquoise 'Doll' Top Hat

This fantastic 'doll' hat is from the late 1930s or early 1940s. I just love the color. Notice that the top of the crown is actually a hollow tube, resting on a close-fitting skullcap- I'd never seen that construction before. And the tasseled strap to hold the hat onto the back of the head is extra fancy.
