Costume Commentary

    • Is it certain the image of Keith Michell above is from HVIII and his Six Wives? I’ve been exploring the website of the hatmaker who made his HVIII hat for The Prince and the Pauper, and the hat is identical.

      Google images show a different hat for HVIII and his Six Wives, and there are websites identifying images from TPATP that look exactly like the hat above. Plus Michell’s age in the photo doesn’t jibe with 1972?

      Incidentally, superb interview with Jane Smith on her career making hats for UK tv and film. She did the Foxite hat and all of the hats for K Knightley in The Duchess, plus other amazing film hats.

      • I think you’re absolutely right. Thank you very much for pointing that out.

        These hats are AMAZING! Thanks for the interview – I will watch it after work today! Thanks!

        • Yw! The interview is a sound recording, not video. There are notes along with it, to help you follow along. What a fascinating career she’s had, and now going stronger than ever!

          • Okay, I listened to it, and it was AWESOME! I mean, I knew it would be interesting, but I had no idea I would love it as much as I did. WOW! I love that she started on “Anne of the thousand Days” (the movie that got me interested in history – so it’s very special to me). I thought the most fascinating thing she said was about women saying “nothing fits me” – and that it was because hat makers were still using old hat bases to fit women with perms! What an interesting and extraordinary little fact! Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I’ll need to post some of this info!

            • Yes, it really was entertaining. The part about the riots was also very interesting, as was the mention of how design had changed, becoming historically accurate. I loled at the part when she said early on that her bonnets were still in use at the BBC years later because she’d made them so strong.

  1. I don’t think it’s just the chain and hat, it looks like the whole costume is being reused. At the very least the doublet is. Maybe this should be moved to the Tudors folder.

  2. You know what? I’m no longer convinced of Richard Burton’s cap. But if the upper picture is from a “Henry VIII”-actor of David Starkey’s monarchy-series (2004), the “Henry VIII”-actor of his series “The six wives of Henry VIII” (1997) wears the same barett.

  3. Tymothy Wests Ever After Crown was worn by the King Claudius (Donald Sumpter) in “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead” (1990) and I believe King Henrys barett/cap in the right picture with Andy Rashleigh originates from “Anne of the Thousand Days” and was worn by Richard Burton.
