Leg Avenue Deluxe Officer Hat

A black officer hat that finishes an outfit and does most of the explaining on its own. Costume shorthand at its most efficient: put it on and the rest of what you are wearing suddenly has a story attached to it.

This is the accessory that saves a half built costume. Wear it with black on black, with a vinyl or leather look piece, or over an everyday outfit when a party turns out to be themed. It is also an easy gift, since there is no sizing conversation and it works for anyone who wants it. The hat holds its shape rather than collapsing the first time it goes in a bag, so it travels to the party rather than being worn all the way there. Wipe the brim clean and store it upright rather than crushed.

Cheap costume hats fold flat on the first night out and never recover. A structured crown is what keeps this one wearable year after year rather than for one evening.
