It has been a while!

But what does time mean, anyway? We're time travelers, silly!!!

I found a great site, http://www.kittyhats.co.uk/
They sell authentic replica period hats:


Well, the period costuming is a little silly and not zero-era, but the Tricone hat has never officially gone out of style, and it looks fantastic! Grey, brown, dark brown, navy, and black - the three-cornered hat is versatile (and usually reversible!).


Check out this badass and his hot wife:
she loved the tricone!

That Hat Seems Familiar...


Ladies headwear doesn't get much more Zero-Era than this:



Look familiar to you? It should, it's a redux of a common hat popular with women in the 12th century, a "fillet with cauls." The rolls of fabric on the sides mimic cauls (or "crespinettes") and the wrap style gives the effect of the standard "pillbox fillet" of the era.



Notice the similarities? Of course, I highly doubt that what the beautiful woman in the photo is wearing below the neck could be gotten away with in the 1300's. Maybe if she was some Egyptian princess or something...
