Feather caps were a major fashion accessory during the 1950s and have been recently re-adapted by designer Deryck Todd. The daring designer refashions the retro accessory as a tribute to a popular gang of puppets -- The Muppets.
The M.A.F hat is a vibrant piece of headgear, decorated with various magenta feathers. The title of this hat stands for 'Muppets Are Forever,' and celebrates Jim Henson's gang of beloved sketch comedy characters. Paying homage to the hilarious puppets, this hat is offered in Kermit green as well as a light blue. Each hat is embellished with vibrant feathers that mirror the decal seen on one of Miss Piggy's infamous feather boas.
Unlike the feather caps that gained popularity in the 1950s, this hat features a snapback closure that make it versatile for different head sizes.
