i’m a big fan of mongolia in general, and i wanted a hat like one that genghis khan, or maybe ivan the terrible would wear. i started with a basic cloche-type base and winged it. mysteriously, i could not find a horsetail to dangle from the crown.
canvas, faux fur, faux sinew, flannel

I love the hat, too—great job! You can find something like horsetails at either wig shops or, oddly enough, dollar stores, where they have packets of “hair extensions” that look like horsetails, in several different colors, all for really cheap (I saw them for a dollar apiece).
