Great. Now I can look like that creature from the Renaldo and the Loaf video.

I gave one of these to my Mother-in-law for our family’s annual hunting trip.

Perfect for playing Where the Wild Things Are. A stylish accoutrement to wear to the wild rumpus.

I worry every fall about those gun owners who chose to shoot first, and clearly identify the target later. Her costume was only vaguely animal-like. Yeesh.

I see the otter hat now, you’re right :)

That’s weird. I saw no badgers, but I did see one otter hat.

I see a bunch of photos of badger hats on her site.

No otter hats, though.

you had me at ‘pagan orgies’.

…but a badger sporran is a fine idea (although maybe currently a risky proposition)

She doesn’t seem to make a badger hat.

You really have to remember to procure one first before posting it on BB, or wait in the long que you help create.

Barbara’s hats also manage to be raw and delightfully strange without resorting to appropriating Native culture, which is nice. I’m not a big fan of Spirit Hoods asking you to “join the tribe” and playing into the Hipster Headdress trend. It’s sad, some of their less-problematic stuff is cute, too.

Yes, but Barbara doesn’t make Mickey and Minnie Mouse. It’s hard for me to deny the awesomeness of those particular hats.

Spirits hoods is cool but a bit slick and muppety — I suspect I’ll prefer the “weird goings-on somewhere in England they haven’t built a road through yet” handmade quality of Barbara’s

SpiritHoods (www.spirithoods.com) makes similar hats. I’m getting a few for my girls. Corey will understand that I’m getting Minnie Mouse…
