Bern Hats by FRANK PALMA Wild Wearable Bird's Nest Pheasant
Feather Hat! The most incredible hat I've ever seen (except
for a few outrageous Bes Ben's)! A total conversation piece! PLEASE look at all the photos... I couldn't figure out which one
best showed the hat. You really need to see it from all
angles. It's a, YUP... it's two baby birds with red beaks
sitting in a bird's nest atop this pheasant feathered head-wrapped
hat!!!! (FYI, for the PETA people... these are not real birds...
just were made to look like ones!) This hat is my personal favorite... and I've had it in my
personal collection for a few years now. It's time to show it
off and send her on... but damn this one will be hard to say goodbye
to! :( I have no idea who Frank Palma was, but he was
certainly an inventive milliner, and deserves recognition. I figure
it's my job to show off his work! Excellent
condition. Stays on by just wrapping around the head.
