Right. Right now I really like this early 19th century embroidered straw Swiss hat from the Metropolitan Museum of Art:
Although I prefer the shape of this one. And I'd even more like it to have some kind of a crown, to more or less work as a modern hat as well. So maybe something like this one. Or this 18th century bergére.
But I really, really like the embroidered brim of the Swiss one. That'd make a hat I could wear without feeling I have put a basket or placemat on my head. :D
So now I need to get a straw hat with wide brim. The embroidery I could do myself.
I'm loving them all! Just think how easy they would be to store - all nice and flat!
ReplyDeleteYes, that was another aspect of their lovability which I forgot to mention. :D
ReplyDeleteSo nice, I like them all. Why do you need a hat? (not questioning, just curious)
ReplyDeleteBecause we're, again, having a heat wave, and I discovered that my dislike for heats and sun in heats is growing.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a medical condition - at least I hope so! - but I simply function better in colder weather... so to function properly in heats, I need at least some shade!
To be more precise, I discovered that my old baseball cap simply won't do for me - that I need a hat with wide brim to shade myself properly...
ReplyDeleteA nice wide brimmed hat is a must in a hot summer :) I am with you; not great on sun. Too pale...
