Wear one of these creations to church Easter Sunday and you better be prepared to drop a big bill in the collection plate. Or if fashion is your calling, then you better be prepared to drop a big bill to buy one of these chapeaus. If hats are your cult, you are on your own, or call your local Scientologist.

Items like this exemplify a preference for big, bold items reflecting fashion from the 80s.
