Applejack Halloween Help

Recommended Posts

Hey. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I figure in a community of bronies, you'll understand. I'm putting together my own hand crafted outfit to make me, you guessed it, Applejack! Problem is, I can't seem to find a hat for the outfit. If any pony knows where I might find one, you're help is greatly appreciated. If I have to make one, your helpful tips on it are also appreciated :)

You say that like I haven't looked ALL OVER the Internet already. Also, I live in central Oklahoma, USA but I'm looking for an applejack hat that's already made up AS an applejack hat.

 

Just for clarification, applejacks hat has a subtly different design from the average run of the mill cowboy hat. Thanks for the help :)

for a matching texture, you might go with leather, either way itll have to be a wide brim, not a "concert" style. unfortunately the leather ones dont have a wire in the brim like some of the cheaper straw hats do. i speculate that the "U" shape at the fore of her hat is just a stylized interpretation of the front of the hat dipping downwards. it makes it easier to animate and a more appealing silhouette. even if you dont find THE perfectly accurate hat, im sure theyll know who you are with just a regular cowboy hat. id avoid felt at all costs. both them and the straw ones fall apart in the rain, but the straw is usually cheaper and bendable.

  • minnetonka has some nice leather ones
  • see if there are any tack shops in your area (western, not english) they usually carry the belts, chaps, hats, spurs bells and whistles too.
  • sometimes you can bend the brim back out of a "concert" hat. the concerts have the sides folded up and are sometimes pinned/glued to the bowl. they take up less room and are meant more for fashion that keeping the sun out of your eyes...
