Steampunk Hats
Hats, and Top Hats are a particular specialty of mine. Over the years, I have created custom, one of a kind hats for people around the world, for personal use, special events, theatrical use and artistic display. My hats are sculptures, but are also intended to be used.
I make hats by hand, or can modify an existing hat to your specifications, and can create custom appliances to ad to your own hat.

This modification technique uses a standard wool felt top hat, A variety of treatments are applied as well as very light weight materials, polymer resin castings and special paint applications. I can modify your top hat in this method, or I can supply the hat.
I cast many of the components used on my hats from a special very light polymer resin. Example shown here is an antique clock key.
Any good hat deserves a hat stand. In case you are looking for something unique, I can assemble something like this. No two ever alike. 75.00 to 175.00.
