Floppy Brim Vintage Hats Are Back In Style

Even Hip Gals Are Wearing Floppy Brim Hats

Floppy brim vintage hats are hot again! In fact, if you visit your favorite department store you will see that beachwear is now including a return to the wide brimmed hat. Oh my.....we can look foolish again and it's in style. The great thing about the floppy brim is that it really does cover your face from the sunlight. From what I can tell, the large brimmed hat is no longer just for grandma types.....the hipsters are wearing them.The times they are changing!  Hat spotted at http://www.kdmantiques.com/

Display Your Vintage Hats On A Handmade "Hat Tree"

Retro Hang-Up Series

 I have heard of a a "hat tree ...but this is a different kind of "hat tree". This is a REAL HAT TREE....I guess. Perhaps more accurately this is a giant  "Hat Tree Branch" ?  On closer examination, you will find that the "tree "  has been spray painted white. This altered  tree uses a main "pole" as the center   "trunk".  Smaller branches were then added to the main "pole" using  white tape. This unique display for vintage hats  appears to be a  ready made piece that was modified to shows off these lovely vintage hats. I think the total effect is quite lovely. I spotted this whimsical vintage "Hat Tree" display at Coventry Arts And Antiques in Coventry, CT
