More custom

Whew! Another two custom hats out the door. Both tricorns- one for a nautical themed wedding, the other for Pirate Fest. They were super rush jobs so I didn't have time to photograph them, hopefully the lovely ladies will send me photos...

Bridal Progress

I'm starting to put the new bridal styles up for sale on Etsy. It will take a few days, they recommend that you space out the listings a bit.

New Bridal Styles

All new wedding hats! Any of these could also be made as custom pieces, in colors of your choice.

A cockade cocktail hat, made from vintage ribbon and veiling:



A bridal 'Belle Epoch' mini top hat, in soft ivory fur felt with feathers and moire ribbon trim:



An 'Emily' mini boater in ivory straw:



And another 'Emily' boater in white:



A 'Kit Kat' mini derby in white straw:



And another 'Kit Kat', this time in ivory fur felt with striped Silver Pheasant feathers:



I've been busy trying to crank these photos out, and working on some fun custom orders that cropped up unexpectedly, but hopefully will get the chance to work on some more new cocktail and bridal styles starting next week. Small bridal cocktail especially.

Hat for Dita

I just sent this red straw Marie boater off to Dita Von Teese. I hope she likes it!

Tricorns for Pirate Fest

Anybody in need of a tricorn hat for Norcal Pirate Fest? It's coming up fast! I have this one available for immediate sale at Dark Garden in San Francisco:






And these at ADS Hats in San Francisco:






Also, this one at The Dapper Cap in Portland, for those of you farther north:

Custom Steampunk 'Kit Kat' Derby

Here are some photos of a mini derby I made as a custom order.


It's similar to another derby I had made out of the same beaver finish felt, but the client wanted the trim made to match a specific outfit, which I was happy to do.


She also wanted to choose feathers, a mix of brown, bronzed, and striped coque, and emu from New Zealand.


She asked me to incorporate this antique button, which she'd been saving for something special. It looks great with the other colors.
