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
