@paulventressmasterhatter: Would you dare wear this hat? This shape is so iconic but it was very 'of it's day'. It's so rare to see these being worn anywhere these days so I was very excited to make this for one of the coolest guys I've ever met who lives right here in the UK. Thinking back to the days of silent movies, the actors had to express their story and character through other means and costume would have played such a bigger role in giving separation of each character and what their story was, so it's no surprise the hats were so over the top. I loved making this hat and it's been great fun working on something different and so larger than life.
