ROMANTIC RENAISSANCE PORTRAIT HAT WITH TARTAN

Description

THIS HAT IS ONE OF MY PERSONAL FAVORITES. IT IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL HYBRID OF BOTH SIDES OF MY FAMILY'S HISTORIC DNA. I HAVE TAKEN THE SHAPE OF THE HATS WORN BY NOBILITY IN FLORENCE, ITALY IN THE 14-1500'S, AND FEMINIZED THEM, WHILE FRAMING THE FACE IN SCOTTISH TARTAN.
MY MOTHER'S ORSINI LINEAGE HAS BEEN TRACED BACK TO LORENZO DE MEDICI'S MARRIAGE TO CLARICE ORSINI IN 1494, AND MY FATHER'S LINEAGE TO THE 13TH CENTURY CLAN MACPHEE OF COLONSAY, SCOTLAND. WE HAVE ALSO DOCUMENTED OUR LINEAGE TO ELIZABETH JACKSON HOW OF OLDE SALEM, MA. SHE WAS MY PATERNAL GREAT GRANDMOTHER 6 GENERATIONS BACK, AND ONE OF THE FIRST 5 WOMEN TRIED AND HANGED FOR WITCHCRAFT IN OLDE SALEM VILLAGE ON JULY 19TH, 1692. NONE OF THE VICTIMS OF ALL OF THE WITCH HYSTERIAS WERE INVOLVED IN THE BLACK ARTS. IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED BY SCHOLARS THAT THEY, AND THEIR ANIMALS, WERE SUFFERING FROM ERGOT POISONING!! MUCH HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON THIS IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
THIS VERY SPECIAL HAT FITS HEADS MEASURING 22-22 1/2".
ALTHOUGH THIS HAT IS ONE OF A KIND, I WOULD BE GLAD TO OBLIGE CUSTOM ORDERS ON IT. CONVO ME BEFORE PLACING CUSTOM ORDERS AS THE MATERIALS COST MAY BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER, AND THE TARTAN WILL BE DIFFERENT, AS I CAN NO LONGER GET THE TARTAN YOU SEE HERE..
