Hats are a popular form of whole-head adornment. Some hats, like the Carmen Miranda fruit hat, are worn mostly for looks. Other hats, wide-brimmed, baseball, stocking, have practical applications that help the wearer endure harsh climates or weather. You, yourself, might be looking for a new hat to delight the senses or to protect the head. And you might want that hat to be eco-friendly. Well then, take a gander at these recycled hats.
