I'd like an exhibit showing tools and materials that made hats with some how to images and (dream) the chance to touch the materials used. I'd like this museum to have workshops for visitors to make historic hats. I'd like to know things such as why tricorne hats had the sides pinned up or why cloche hats (bell in French) and not wide hats were worn by flappers. It would be neat to see the designers' hats and then what was actually worn every day by ordinary people. I'd like to know the reason behind hats: cowboys used theirs as working tools to carry water, etc., night caps kept the head warm in winter, mob caps may have been used control odor from unwashed hair. Have I said enough or gone way too far into Hat Wonderland -- :).Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503825386011647620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794971075413942981.post-17733486763465176702011-07-28T15:28:26.708-07:002011-07-28T15:28:26.708-07:00Really interesting blog, keep up the good work xReally interesting blog, keep up the good work xWee Kookaburrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01518400472325956696noreply@blogger.com
