Courtesy of my Retronaut daily email (and especially for Barbara) I had to share these:

I've put a few below, but there are 27 in all, so click here to see them all

Those are just crazy , maybe the second one down was wearable in it's day, fashion statement were even around back then.

Ruth,

Oh thank you! I just love looking at these, as the Teens are one of my favorite periods for hats, and those are wonderful to see. The 4th one down is particularly interesting to me, (with the bonnet ties) and is a revival of early 1800's head wear. Fascinating!

I knew you'd love to see them! Do check out the rest on the link if you haven't already. I could hardly choose which ones to show here.

Wow, those are fantastic - thanks for sharing Ruth!

Wow those hats are amazing! I'm very impressed by the one in the link that looks like a mohawk! Course all these feathers were the reason the Lacey Act was passed at the turn of the century. Impressive none the less.

 

[Rue_de_la_Paix]

Yes, the Mohawk feather array is quite interesting! All of the feathers on those hats appear to be non endangered species, so not so bad.

Positively splendid array of chapeaux here! They are all so beautifully constructed, it really is an art!

Just amazing! In addition to being incredible eye candy, some of these hats are truly eye opening...

Thanks for sharing, Ruth!
