Time-Traveller's Hat

[mbarrick]

You may recall that I bought some gears a while back. Here is the first fruit from that crop:

The hat will be for sale in Elaine's store tomorrow. If it is well-received, there will be many more like it (but no two will ever be the same). Each gear is hand-sewn to the hat, as it the leather hat-band, and brass "feather". The gears on the stalk of the "feather" are soldered while those at the ends are held by the wire. The hat itself is quality 100% wool felt. I'm not sure what the exact hat size is, only that Best fits heads measuring between 21 3/4 inches to 22 1/4 inches (depends how angled you wear it) - to avoid the temptation of keeping it, it is a size too small for me. Check the new items list in Elaine's store tomorrow for the details.
