Speaking of hat, The wife has been unable to find a red felt tricorn (or hat blank) to go with one of her red 18th century jackets.

Groomporter, I am miserable with posting links, so here is the item # of an Ebay seller that has them.

I bought my black felt pirate hat on Ebay, it was a blank and I just sewed the sides up, but these are already sewn.  They have tricorns and cavalier hats.

Thanks! I'll show her the page, http://tinyurl.com/cq3arw but I don't know if she'll want to spend $35 when we see hat blanks at reenactments for $12-$15 especially since they say:

Totally not Ren-related, but I'm really happy with this hat I made. It took me all of half an hour with a kid's straw hat I cut the brim off of, a fancy cloth napkin, some feathers from Michael's, and a broach thing from Hobby Lobby. It was a lot of fun to make and stuff. Plus, I love the 40s.

Me with my tricorn at the STL PirateFest. simple hat, but very well made by the guys at the Pyrate Trading Co. ( http://www.pyrate.org ) I added the broach made from scraps of the coat that my "employer" wears.

I really do hate this next hat being called the Robin Hood hat.  With apologies to archers everywhere, Robin was not the only person to wear these hats, they were Quite popular in his time, and to some extent, were still popular into the early 1500's.  It seems that at most faires, there are only thee hat styles, and then those styles get decorated and trimmed differently.  I wanted my hat itself to be different for the everybody norm, not just the trim.
(this picture is not representative of my normal faire garb, I was at my friends Ren-wedding for this pic, so I was wearing my sword belt and leather doublet for the special occasion.



I've always worn hats different then what most would wear, my first few years in faire, I wore an "Italian Red Cap"

I don't remember where I got my hat, but I know it was ridiculously cheap! I added some button things around the top, and this year I really want some pheasant feathers or something. I need to go to Hobby Lobby.

Excuse the fact that this picture was taken... probably three years ago; I've been going to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival for six or seven years now, so they kind of all run together. It's not a very good picture of the hat, either, but for some reason I never get pictures of myself at the faire.

Hey I think I know that hat! Ooh try Michael's... they have lots more feather variety than Hobby Lobby. See you at TNRF this year!

I made this hat today:



And this is a cowboy hat that I tried to turn into a cavalier hat (though it's not quite the right shape).

Hats are great.  I'm especially loving all the feathers.  So colorful and gorgeous.  I've been enjoying looking at all these wonderful hats so much, it didn't occur to me 'til now that I hadn't shared our strange can tab hats.
