Rudolph hat

Poor Rudolf was hunted down and turned into a hat

Christmas Hats

OK so I got 4 great hats for Christmas this year from friends and family, will post more on them in 2022

I still got socks as well

A brussel sprout, took me a moment to work it out.

Fine purple renaissance cap.

For Haughan Priests who wants to do a bit of voodoo

After the Brussel Sprouts its time for desert

Cat in a Hat

 A Secret Santa gift turned out to be a Christmas cat hat and collar

As you can see by my cat expression he was not pleased to made to look foolish, cats are too cool for that.

The hat sort of managed to stay on for a few minutes, long enough for a few photos

Another attempt at a cat in hat photo.

 I did have to try it myself.

Christmas Novelty Hat

 This is a hat for Christmas only.

A basic beanie with a pompom on top

Patterned like a Santa costume.

Then for added jollity, a white fleece beard mask hung from the front.

I was given this as Christmas gift and will wear it, also will make my Facebook avatar for this December.

The beard is detachable held in place with a couple of press-studs and in my opinion looks better without it, although that is probably not the point of this hat.

Hats for Christmas

I've received 3 hats this year for Christmas (so far)

A marvellous and ridiculous yellow beret with a green stalk from Lorna

A quality heavy leather tricorn from Rich and Amy

A silly Christmas bobble hat with an integrated beard from the Linda, Andy, Katie, Christopher and Belle the cat

Thank you all, love getting gifted hats.

On the 3rd day of Christmas, another hat arrived (a flat cap), from AndyH photo below

Hatmas

I was lucky to receive 6 hats for Christmas this year, although I have only photographed 5 as one is the same headlight beanie is repeated in a different colour.

So thanks Sam, Dom, Rich, Amy, Jock, Bridgette for my great gifts.

I also got this hat themed skull ornament, another great gift.

I also have a hat in mind to buy myself with Christmas voucher.

Baubles

Along with a green Vietcong pith helmet, a brown suede hood and a bag full of Wee Willie Winky Hats.

Christmas Gifts, Hat Themed

This year I received a few hat themed gift for Christmas.

Starting with a knitted knights helmet from the Crazy Terry's complete with moveable visor.

The helmet will stop all blows to any self pride you have.

The next gift from fellow larper and friend Dom is a miniature Spanish style conquistadors Comb Marion helmet made of metal but 1/3rd scale.

I did try to balance it on top of my head but the photo came out blurred.

Not least but a proper hat that will used, is the one below, I best describe this as a cavaliers hat although perhaps a wider brim is order, decorated by Dave and Julie and presented to me by their daughter who was as excited to give it to me as I was to receive it.

Goes well with red Christmas present jumper.

Also jumping into the photo BB8

Last while digging out my Christmas wrapping a week or so ago I came across my old sallet which I thought I had sold see this post here.

A little bit rustier and the straps had rotted, I must have packed it away while damp.
