Little scruffy blue velvet show hat

the GPA is not technically correct, but Sarah Ambler big showing person wears one in all types of classes and she wins everything!!! So if its good enough for her its good enough for you!!

how scruffy is scruffy?
if its just faded then re dye it with navy suede shoe dye! thats what i do with my navy velvet hat

I would say your scruffy show hat. Loads of people wear scruffy hats in the show ring.

For the jumping phase you will probably need a hat with a proper harness, so I would suggest go for the GPA - its probably a bit neater than the skull cap if they are anything like mine!

Its faded, but a seam has come adrift a little just above the peak which shows the original colour, so a bit of sewing and dyeing needed i supose.
Thanks for replying
