HM's out in Oxford today to celebrate the quincentenary of the university's Brasenose College. (Confession time: I totally had to look up exactly how many years a quincentenary marks -- it's 500. I blame it on the fact that I'm American, and nothing we have here is that old.)
And she's brought out a hat we've seen fairly frequently to do it -- but the photographs from this outing provide a much closer look at the hat itself. I really thought before that this hat was just made of your basic cloth material, but it looks from this angle like it's actually a leather-look fabric (or I suppose maybe actual leather -- she is a queen, after all, I think she can swing the expense). Veeery interesting. What do the rest of you make of this?
