I made the Wearing History 1908 Automobiling or Travel Hat the week after Easter. Then I kept meaning to do my hair and take pictures because this hat needs the support of hair beneath the brim. After seven weeks, I have determined that, while I might make a hat with no place to wear it, I am not going to make hair rats with no upcoming event that requires them. You're stuck with a picture of the hat lying flat on a table.

1908 Automobiling Hat

It is made of linen with a crinoline layer in the brim. There's a petersham band in the headsize opening. The crinoline gives the brim more body, but it still flops if it isn't supported. I bought some sizing to stiffen the brim if the hairstyle isn't enough to support it, but I'm waiting to see whether the sizing is needed before I do it.

It was a really quick and easy project, and the pattern went together perfectly.

Hopefully sooner rather than later you are given an occasion to wear it! Those quick and easy satisfying projects are SO nice, regardless of immediate need.

Looking forward to seeing it on since it needs the hairstyle. Flat it reminds me of Renaissance flat caps.
