On another thread, someone asked if I was going to post photos of my new driving hats I bought the other day. So I decided to take photos of all of them! I took most of the photos from the front of the hats, except for the one labeled otherwise. I used to only wear my helmet, but some of our vehicles just didn't lend themselves to that look, so I broke my own rule and started wearing hats for certain classes. Now it is just too much fun!
This is a new one from Macy's. It has a fun angled brim that looks pretty cool. I will need to make sure that I have a little white in my turnout to go with the trim on it. I paid too much for it, but I was afraid it would be gone after Easter when hats go on sale. It was the only one like it. After Easter is the BEST time to get fancy hats cheaper! They are much cheaper than the hats from the carriage supply companies.
This photo is taken from the side of the hat. The puff is supposed to be in the back. I bought it from a consignment shop and it was labeled a Vintage KY Derby hat. It was made in KY. I think it is really cool and pretty versatile! I can't wait to use it!
I got this gray one on sale at Boston Store. (I didn't know they had these hats until the other day!) I don't know what I would wear with it yet, but my friend thought it matched my eyes really well. She got one the same shape only in beige, and it is really neat! I might have to borrow her's sometime. She wants to borrow my derby hat, too.
This is my favorite hat. It looks really cute (I hate that word
) on me! I got it at Macy's. I love it with my blue cart, and I wear it for Reinsmanship and when grooming for Kyle (son). There is a photo on our homepage of me in this hat.
This is my other favorite hat. It's from Macy's. I wear it for Turnout b/c it matches my blue cart pretty well. It is very hard to see around, though, so I like it for style, but not function. I added a clear bra strap to hold it on my head. The strap goes under my chin and behind my ears.
This was my first fancy hat from Macy's. It is pretty, but too white. Maybe with a gray horse or something. It might look good someday with our bay mare with four white stockings and a blaze, but she isn't ready to go yet. I added the gold trim trying to break up the white. It didn't work.
This is one of my first hats. I got it at Kohl's for $12. I put the trim around it to match my turnout and change it as needed. It is kinda like an old standby. It works great for crappy weather and for obstacles, b/c the brim isn't very wide, so it doesn't catch the air. It's pretty comfortable, too.
Same hat in cream. Pretty versatile, not much style.
This is my least favorite hat. Macy's. It is comfortable and warm, but I don't like the rounded top and the cream is too white. I did wear it this year to judge a sleigh rally with a cream winter scarf underneath over my ears. It worked good for that, b/c it is not "over the top" like some of the other felts.
OK, all done. Let's see your hats!
