Hello and welcome to Classic Hat Monday. This week we have a lovely, colorful striped hat in a trio of eye popping rich citrus colors. Ready to see her? Here she is.

Citrine Classic Hat.

We named the design Citrina, a variation of Citrine.

Citrine is a semiprecious, transparent variety of quartz that can be pale yellow to brownish orange in color. It’s the birthstone for November and represents the 13th anniversary.

Happy Monday,

Hattingdon & Co.

Deidre Classic

Greetings and salutations on this Classic Hat Monday. Today we have a fabulous classic hat for you, called Deidre.

The Deidre classic hat is a black hat with a striking red hatband. The hat’s dome and brim features a line of white houndstooth on them. Coordinating red ‘nosebobs’ complete the look.

By the way, we are often asked how we came up with the word ‘nosebobs’. Easy. We modeled it on earrings being called ‘earbobs’, a term used in the Old South of the United States for earrings or eardrops.

The classic hat

The classic hat is very, very popular and has been from the day it was launched in 2009. There are still many Hattingdon fans who prefer the classic hat to any other hats that she wears. How did it come about?

After a year or two of making a wide variety of hats for Hattingdon, Vivian created a basic hat silhouette with a round dome and medium wide brim. Then she started designing for it, and it ultimately became a series with a big following. She named it the “classic hat.”

The classic hat became popular right away, and enjoys a dedicated fanbase that is still going strong today, more than a dozen years later.
