My current obsession...The cloche hat

The cloche hat is a fitted, bell-shaped hat that was popular during the 1920s.(Cloche is the French word for bell.) Cloche hats were usually made of felt so that they conformed to the head. The hat was typically designed to be worn low on the forehead, with the wearer's eyes only slightly below the brim.

It was fashionable from 1908 to 1933 was one of the most extreme forms of millinery ever, with an appearance that resembled a helmet. It was the iconic hat of the twenties decade and will ever be associated with the flappers of the era. It was responsible for the period stance we associate with the era. To wear one correctly the hat had to be all but pulled over the eyes, making the wearer have to lift up the head, whilst peering snootily down the nose.
Cloche hats had a basic bell contour with bulbous crowns which if correctly designed could add inches to the height of the wearer helping to foster the haughty look, so redolent of the cloche in our mind’s eye.

So there you go. The cloche hat, also known as the-hat-that-broke-my heart hat.
You know what? Screw the size. I think I'm getting it. It's supposed to be worn with the eyes half-concealed anywayz.
So Soon Lee, for the sake of my sanity, I hope you still have that hat in your store. Please. I plead you.
