HATS! and the grrls/bois who love them....

I LOVE hats!

I love lots of different styles of hat.
the styles from the 40s, 50s and 60s are of particular interest to me.
And if it has feathers, I will probably swoon it.
I have a collection of my Grandmother's hats and handbags.
I keep the hats which are valuable and/or delicate in separate hat boxes, the care depends on the fabric and the shape. Most are pretty low maintenance. Some are very high maintenance (vintage) and will really only live for *so* long outside of a climate controlled museum environment.

The most amazing living milliner, in my opinion, Mr. Treacy

He also does a "low-end" retail line for a department store in the UK, I have a beautiful red felt fedora by treacy.

Great thread, thanks
