Arctic Fox Fur Hat by Jonny Beardsall
Redolent of Cossack romance, this stunning hat in arctic fox fur (8” tall) is the work of Yorkshire’s Jonny Beardsall, one of the most country’s most interesting new hat-makers. The martial influence is perhaps understandable as Jonny was himself a soldier before turning his hand to millinery. Entirely self-taught in his workroom ‘in a very cold house in a village on the edge of a grouse moor’, he is surely, if this remarkable piece is anything to go by, due to join the most illustrious names of this very British craft. Not since Julie Christie bestrode the frozen wastes of revolutionary Russia has such sumptuous glamour been seen on someone’s head. Created exclusively for 20ltd, it is available in only 4 editions.
