Hello there. How are you? Are you hanging in with us okay? We are beginning to get close to finish line. Hooray! Until then . . . .

Classic Hat

First up we have a very classy Classic hat. Love the colour combination. It is amazing how yellow and gray are always stunning together. Design name Natalie.

Fashion Hat

This hat was created in the very early days of Hattingdon Horses. Vivian has created several hats in this particular silhouette which she named the “mod cap”. This was her first one. Meet “Nina”. Love, love, love!

It is amazing we are virtually halfway through the alphabet already. There is still plenty of fun and lovely hats ahead.

We have two very different hat styles. A very pretty classic hat and a dramatically fun headdress.

Classic Hat

The Melonie classic hat is a striped confection made with the deliciously soft colours of lemon, lime and a gorgeous cantaloupe. There is more to it.

Feel like a bit of drama? Then you will enjoy Marlee.

The Marlee headdress features a trio of acid green roses accompanied by trailing vines mirroring the same colours.

Thank you for spending time with us. We hope we bring you a “hatful of smiles”.

The hats chosen for this post are especially awesome, if we do say so ourselves.

Classic Hat

Created in a pristine blue and white paisley pattern, this is a super chic classic hat. Vivian named it Lauren.

Fashion Hat

Vivian made this headpiece in honor of Canada’s annual national holiday, celebrated on July 1. It has been a day of celebration since 1868. Canadians across the country and around the world show their pride in their history, culture and achievements, with festivities held all across the nation.

Here is Vivian’s tribute to Canada Day. She named the hat Lisette.

Lisette Hattingdon.

We so love Lisette. Such a pretty name too. The name Lisette is primarily of French origin; a diminutive form of Elisabeth.

Whether you are here for the first time or a regular visitor, greetings and welcome. It is great to have you with us. We hope Hattingdon and her hats bring you a “hatful of smiles.”

Here are Vivian’s top choices of both a classic hat and a fashion hat, starting with the letter “K”.

Classic Hat

The hat Vivian selected in the Hattingdon “classic” silhouette is something she really loves — a black and white hat — especially created in a minimalist style. It is new. We named the hat called Karla. This is its first outing.

Fashion Hat

Next up we have the Kelly hat. A wonderful fedora. We originally named the hat Cagney . . . remember that? We were called upon to um . . . change the name. So we chose the name Kelly, as in Gene Kelly. His connections did not mind at all.

Here it is in a lovely grey.

The Fedora

“The fedora hat got its name in 1887, when infamous stage actress Sarah Bernhardt donned the headpiece for her role as a feisty Russian princess, Fédora Romanoff. As a result, women’s rights activists and suffragettes started to wear this traditionally masculine hat as a symbol of liberation.”

“Fast-forward to the first few decades of the 20th century and fedoras had caught on with both men and women, from the streets to the silver screen. Even today, the fedora recalls the strong female leads of Hollywood’s Golden Age, such as Ava Gardner and Marlene Dietrich.” Source » »
