| Hat, French, c.1811. From the Met. |
This hat is perfect. I love the contrasting colors, the helmet shape with tiny brim, the plume-like fabric rosettes, and especially that chin-strap. It's trying so hard to be a military hat, and makes me want to assemble a Regency/Empire-themed marching band. I very much want to see hats like this appear in more Jane Austen adaptations: it's just too much, and I love it.
