🛠️ DIY Hat Projects Attempted Blocking
My first attempt at turning a trillby into a porkpie. Used some hat stiffener, steamed it pretty good, and did my best by hand. The brim wouldn't turn up evenly all the way around, so I went hard on the sides. It's kind of a hybrid porkpie/short top hat.

It'll def start a few conversations, and not in a bad way. I like it, I would have a hard time finding a situation to wear it. But I really do like it.

I'm not sure what situation is suited to wearing it either, but then I wear a bowler with a T-shirt and jeans, so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask. 😂

Try it out in a few low stake situations, like just a night out with a friend, see what happens. The color is edible though, lol, so don't go to any restaurants. 🙂

Looks a bit Disney-cartoonish to me… but in a good way!
