Hattingdon blog header for Classic Hat Monday.

Greetings. We have been hearing from a lot of you asking us to post more classic hats. We talked about it and agreed that the best way to ensure that we do this is to give the classic hat its own day. We decided on Monday. Why only one day? Because there are not nearly the number of classic hats as there are fashion hats.

The Hats

We have two wonderful Cecily classics for you today featuring animal print in two distinctively different patterns and colorways.

The first Cecily classic hat features an animal print in gray and teal on a white background with a deep brim in matching gray. Love it.

The second Cecily classic hat was made in a deep, rich golden yellow, patterned throughout with a white animal print that Vivian created. Take a close look you and will see little hearts. Darling.

We hope they brings you a ‘Hatful of Smiles’™.

P.S. Our folks checked and found that we do have enough classic hats to see us through the year. Hooray! — HH

Cherie Classic

What is red and pink and teal all over? How about the Cherie Classic hat?

If you are new to Hattingdon, you will not know what a “classic hat” is. Well, it started like this.

Vivian, the creator of Hattingdon Horses, had designed a boatload of hats for Hattingdon. She felt she might soon be running out of ideas for new ones. There are only so many hat styles and silhouettes, aren’t there?

So Vivian set about creating a hat silhouette unique to Hattingdon and design for it. The result was a hat with a round dome with a simple medium sized brim created in basic black.

When she first shared it, one of her friends said, “It is very classy or . . . classic looking isn’t it.” Vivian replied yes it was. When thinking about what to call it, the name Eve suddenly popped into her head. Perfect, she thought . . . it being the first of its kind.

She began designing more right away . . . . naturally. We have never thought to count them but it is believed in the neighborhood 60 classic hat designs have been created over the years. That’s Vivian!

Cherie

We now come to today’s classic hat. Vivian named the hat Cherie. The color combination is superb; so very pretty.

The Cherie classic hat is made of a lovely pink dome, a rich red brim and a medium hatband in teal. Front and center on the dome is a fetching button in those colors. Pink nosebobs complete the look.

Nosebobs you ask . . . ?

You have heard the charming term used for earrings as earbobs, right? We believe it comes from the American South (think Gone with the Wind). Well . . . . nosebobs are the bobs on Hattingdon’s noseband. How about that? Wink.

By the way. There are now only three classic hats left in the current series. Sigh!

We believe this hat may be Vivian’s favourite classic hat at the moment. It is so handsome isn’t it, and very elegant.

The richness of the deep blue hat with a touch of white striping, topped by that gorgeous feather makes it so striking. Sigh. We just love it, and had to showcase it again here.

We will be back here against very soon with another very popular classic hat. It is ten down, and only five more to go.
