    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I bought this hat about ten years ago in a vintage shop in Covent Garden, London. It has no labels so I have no idea where it's from, though the shopowner told me she brought it back from a buying trip to the USA.

    Reshaping the brim

I then snapped down the front, and eventually ironed the...
