Sometimes you can find bargains out there.This hat is hand made from palm leaves. I found it at the French Market in New Orleans VERY reasonably priced. Construction methods and materials are period, and can be shaped into period fashions as your taste dictates. I will add a edge around the brim and replace the hat band with more period materials and still have ALOT less than $20 in the whole thing. | | The Ninth Kentucky Cavalry-"Morgans Men" |
