Wayne Wichern For National Fall Hat Month!

Leaf cloche

Back in the day, when hats were much more in style, September was the month when you put your straw hats away and took out your felted cool weather hats.  The Gallery is celebrating Fall Hat Month by featuring our winter hat lines.  Wayne Wichern is the king of felted hats - trained in millinery by professionals from years gone by, he retains the vintage flair in his lovely cloches and toppers.  Each hat is handmade and finished with lovely details.

Those are hats with panache!


BOY IN RUBY

Boy in ruby, why so shy?
You are quite a handsome guy.
There’s no need to hide your face—
In this world you have a place.
Take your ruby shirt away
From your mouth—come out and say,
“I am not a turtle, no,
And my name’s not Yertle, so,
I will be as I was meant—
As my mom says, heaven-sent.”
