Sally Pointer - Heritage education
bringing you objects, skills, and inspiration from the past, to enrich the future
Historic Hats:
Sally researches extant hats in museums and draws on documentary and pictorial evidence to develop her patterns for these hats. Most of the hand-knitted ones are also heavily fulled to give structure and solidity.
A few of our designs are also available as downloadable knitting patterns via Payhip if you prefer to knit your own.
NEXT ORDER DATE: The shop will next open for custom hat orders on Thursday September 14 2023 around 10am BST (UK time)and will shut again as soon as Sally has enough hat orders to keep her busy for the next two-three months.
If you find the listings all showing as 'out of stock; please keep an eye on this notification or on our Facebook page or Instagram for updates on the next ordering opportunity. You can still click on listings whilst the shop is shut to see descriptions, but be aware that things like colour choices and size drop-downs may not show up. All hats are custom knit and any modifications you may want are generally available.
Do also have a look at our 'In Stock' pages, there may be hats already made and ready to go there!
Museums, Film & Theatre wardrobes etc, please get in touch so I can schedule in time for your project.
Overseas clients: We strongly advise you to choose a "tracked" post service when you checkout. Sales to any overseas country via this site may incur customs charges at your end, we have no way to arrange the import duties or local VAT in advance for you.
