My second steampunk top-hat for Elaine's store. This one is a larger size than the earlier one, the inside circumference is about 24 inches (61cm), equivalent to a USA 7 5/8 or UK 7 1/2. Best fits heads measuring between 23 3/4 inches to 24 1/4 inches (depends how angled you wear it). If that is a bit too big, Elaine sells hat foam that can be inserted to reduce the size up to one inch (three hat sizes).

that hat is totally cool... you've inspired me to take on some home decoration projects that incorporate the steampunk aesthetic...

I'll bet that editing gizmo in your last post has some interesting gears in it...

I was thinking the same thing... but it's so damn big.

Maybe they would let me disassemble it at work and take the parts, throwing away the rest...

Geee.

A mens top-hat featuring gears - I wonder who came up with that idea ?

That is fantastic...

My question would be, would you make one just for me? That is, I either send you the hat or the measurement of the hat and you construct a really nifty one just for me? I would have to have a few skulls though :)

I will of course pay whatever is necessary ;)

Could be done. At this point I've only got enough gears left for one more hat that's already slated for the store. Assuming I can scrounge up some more dead clocks to dissect I should be able to take on the commission in January if that is cool.

That would be fine with me!

Thanks!
