Our driving hats

Since some of us drive in CDE or pleasure drive, was curious as to what everyone's hats looked like. Here are a few of mine:

This hat I am going to maybe add a cute yellow wide ribbon around the front of it as I bought it for my auto topped surrey. The interior of the surrey is a beautiful yellow color.


My other hat I thought was really cute, reminded me of the time of Charles Dickens. I wore it when I pulled Santa and Mrs. Claus last year in a Christmas parade with a green scarf, black turtleneck, black jacket, black skirt, and a nice steel grey apron and black gloves.


This hat I had made for me, i wear it the most as when we do pleasure driving, we usually dress in khaki's and a blouse. The feathers are all from my chickens that I save up during the year. I have another hat just like this but in a beautiful foam green with black and grey feathers.




Here is the green hat:


But, if were piddling around the farm or exercising, this is my typical hat, a baseball cap:


What does everyone else wear?

I always have loved to look at driving hats, always elegant, nothing simple about them at all and the colors, it is such a wonderful sport with all the history and comrade too!

Lilley your hat is wonderful!

Where do you all purchase your hats? I will be driving my mare in the show ring for the first time in about a month - I have everything but a hat. I'm at a complete loss as to where to find them! Suggestions?

I will be wearing a red and black dress, with a black blazer, so I'd need a red or black hat.

I don't know why I didn't think of ebay! What should I use for search terms? I found a local shop that seems to have lots of hats (it's a place the local polo club recommended), but I'm thinking they're going to be pretty expensive. I'm going to stop by today anyway, if only to find a style I like. :)

Here's my mare with the trainer:


I think she's going to look pretty fancy in a shiny black harness and cart, but I'm biased!
