hats made out of upholstery and necktie scraps

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

i made this ladies fedora out of upholstery scraps, a necktie, and a reclaimed buckle. it’s somewhat structured but remains soft, making it perfect to pack in a suitcase for travel. it is a size M.





here’s another size M ladies fedora i made out of upholstery scraps, a necktie, and a reclaimed buckle.




i made this hat out of necktie scraps and shaped it after a victorian riding hat. it has a wonderful, natural structure and stands up tall with a shapeable brim. it is a size M. it looks like a shorter top hat and can be worn by men or women.






here is another victorian riding hat i made out of neckties. the crown is about an inch shorter than the other one and this one is a size small.







and last but not least, here is a top hat i made out of upholstery scraps. i’m calling it a “soft top” because it has no structure and can be smooshed completely flat. when you put it on your head, it regains partial shape with some scrunching at the top. i kind of like the “just fell off an art car” look it lends.





all of these hats can be found at Trunk 544 Haight St. SF CA 94117

upcycled ladies fedora

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

i made this fedora by upcycling an old bed sheet and necktie. it has a wonderful raised texture and is fully lined. the brooch was a thrift store find, the thread and lining were saved from a landfill. this is a women’s size M/L. want it? buy it here.
