More hats!

This is a link to a Top hat pattern. I will be either using a top hat on top of the Fourth Plinth or a bowler hat because when you think of traditional hats you think of those types of hats.

I forgot about the flat cap which are also quite traditional.

I am going to look at what these type of hats mean and who wore them. This will be in the next post.


I have found where I can buy hat block shapers like in the video in one of my last posts. They are sold at GeorgeWeil.com but are about £36. I am going to look at other ways of doing this technique by making my own hat block some how.
