Steampunk bowler hat Seepunk

The Seepunk steampunk bowler hat is a brown hat with a round crown, decorated with golden gears, rooster feathers and a pair of dark-lensed goggles. You wear it straight on your head, with the goggles positioned against the front of the crown, over a vest, corset or lace cape. This is how you complete a Victorian-inspired costume for ladies or gentlemen during carnival or Elfia.

What exactly is on the brim and crown of the Seepunk?

The Seepunk has a brown crown with a slightly curled brim, adorned with the decorations that give the hat its retro-futuristic character.

• The crown and brim are brown, with a copper-coloured band just above the brim.
• The front features gold-coloured gears in various sizes.
• A plume of teal and black-and-white speckled rooster feathers stands up on the side.
• The goggles have gold-coloured, weathered-looking rims and are held around the crown with a black strap and buckle.
• The composition is 65% polyester, 15% ABS, 5% iron and 5% rooster feathers.
• The hat is not washable.
• It is designed for ladies and gentlemen.

Due to the low, round crown, the goggles sit closer to your eyes than on a taller model. Choose this hat if you want to display the goggles and gears at eye level without a tall crown above your head.

The round hat of the steam era

A hat with a round, hard crown has been part of the English street scene since the nineteenth century, worn by workers and gentlemen. The retro-futuristic style surrounding the steam era uses Victorian clothing as a base and adds mechanical parts, such as gears, rivets and aviator or welding goggles. This combination of a smart hat shape with technical decorations is reflected in the Seepunk.

Making your inventor character recognisable around the Seepunk

Start with brown and copper, so that your jacket or cape matches the shade of the band around the hat. A pocket watch on a chain, leather gloves or a buckled belt carry the mechanical theme from your head to your hands. Ladies often choose a corset or a lace cape, while gentlemen choose a vest over a shirt with a stand-up collar. Leave the goggles resting on the hat, and your face will remain unobstructed while the look remains recognisable.

Choose the Seepunk and step out during Elfia or carnival as an inventor from the steam era.
