Lynn McMasters hats

[gem]

I'd love to see photos, if you have them!

For some reason, the photos on Lynn's site have gone really tiny and hard to make out. Has anyone here made:


The flat cap?

Or


The German hat? (The actual hat, not the gold caul that's included. I have the solo pattern for that already.)

I know we've had some folks make the tall hat/s... what's the verdict on those?



Gramercy!!

Lynn McMasters Hat patterns are some of the BEST on the market. I have made many hats from them for me and the Earl, for clients.


Me and the Earl. One of my earlier French Hoods and Tall Hat, now retired.


Italian Bonnet for a Little Queen

Here are a few more Hats I made variations of using parts of the patterns to get a different look.


A King James I hat with a wider brim and tilt upwards. I used the Tall Hat pattern making the brim  1 1/4" wider.


My TITANIC Edwardian hat using the Edwardian pattern. I also use this pattern for cavalier styled hats as well, making the brim narrower. Good for Pirate hats too.


A Henry VIII Tudor Cap modifying the brim for the Men's Italian Bonnet and a larger circle for the Crown.

  I just ordered the Ladies Elizabethan tall hat pattern from LM.

Thanks, Lady K! Those are spectacular!!

No reviews on the German hat? I found a photo of a hat for sale on etsy that sort of looks similar, but from the pattern photo Lynn's German doesn't seem to resemble any other German/Saxon hat I've seen, either in period artwork or on re-enactors.

I'd feel more confident if I could get some better pictures....

THank you, gem.

Lynn's patterns are worth the money. They can be adapted to get a variety of looks because they all follow the same procedure to make. Heavy duty buckram or Plastic Canvas, Millinery wire, bias Tape, and fabrics for the  hat and linings.
