I saw a vintage helmet-hat like this in the web and wanted one for myself, but had no time to work on it than. Some weeks later a similar hat appeared in a scene from an early Hitchcock-movie (Murder!) I saw. This time I had no choice but to make my own Version. I took a modern feltbody, some vintage petersham ribbon, cut it up and began to stitch. It doesn´t really suit my “assistent” Helen, but it suits ME. And that´s enough.
