Just to be clear

a hiking outfit is first and foremost a *practical* garment, as evident from the fact that the skirt is not supported over a bustle but just a bit of padding

so if I'm making a matching hat it's perfectly reasonable to add earflaps to it, even if it's something that is vaguely shaped like a top hat, right?

in reply to Elena ``of Valhalla''

I've cut the pattern and started sewing and I have to say that it's not exactly a top hat, it's significantly shorter than that (something I'm tankful for, since sewing it is already unwieldy as is :) )

But is has all of the parts of a top hat, and I'm following instructions that could, with a wider crown side, result in a top hat (the milliner version in fabric over a buckram and wire structure, not the hatmaker version in mercury-treated felt)

and I've shamelessly cut earflaps for it.
