Ornamentology – 5 Stars!
Recommendation:- Ornamentology
Ratings: 5 Stars
Ornamentology is a fantastic resource for the hat and headgear loving elements of the Steampunk and Gothic community, The Ornamentology banner is a regular sighting at many a Steampunk festival and gathering around the UK, and the stall hosted by trader/designer/maker Gail is a busy and ever popular stopping point at such events.
Having already met in person and realising that Gail completely understood exactly what I was after following a brief email conversation. I described the additions made to a specific style of hat. These additions were intended to create an appearance of a creepy Victorian undertaker. The final result was even better than I imagined and I am now well known for my “Raven winged hat, with pennies for The Ferryman!”
The size and design was perfect and included the various elements I requested alongside some excellent and spot on suggestions from Gail. Over two years on, the construction has stood the test of Edinburgh’s windy weather and the hat still looks amazing.
I am now saving pennies for my second hat from Ornamentology. This will be identical to my current one minus the wings. I am now doing tours with restricted headspace and need something more appropriate height wise. I love the original design and wish something along the same lines. I am sure this new hat will become as beloved as its older companion.
