# Kitchen Appliance Cowboy Fashion This Cowboy Hat was Created Entirely from an Upcycled Toaster By | Published 2013-06-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-fashion References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/food/cowboy-hat-made-out-of-a-toaster/) & [fox-blue.deviantart](http://fox-blue.deviantart.com/art/Toaster-Hat-161461676) While toasters are useful for a lot of tasks, creating wearable cowboy fashion isn't the first function that comes to mind. DeviantARTish Blue Fox, however, saw differently. By melting and re-shaping parts of an old metal toaster this avid cowboy fan was able to create a chic and shiny cowboy hat. The toaster's slots face upwards out of the hat so they could technically still be used as storage if the user needs some place to keep his cowboy lasso or [chewing tobacco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowboy-coffee-kits). The brim of the hat is formed of melted toaster metal that was re-shaped to create a wide brim worthy of John Wayne. This upcycled cowboy fashion is an awesome and unique demonstration of creative recycling. Instead of throwing away an old kitchen appliance this artist went the extra mile and created an original piece of wearable art that will have every gun-happy cowboy green with envy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Creative Recycling:** Opportunity for creating unique wearable art by upcycling old appliances. - **Wearable Technology:** Potential for integrating functional elements of everyday objects into fashion accessories. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Growing interest in eco-friendly and upcycled clothing items. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Fashion:** Opportunity for artists and fashion designers to explore innovative materials and techniques for creating unique pieces. - **Recycling and Waste Management:** Increasing demand for creative recycling solutions to reduce waste and promote sustainability. - **Home Appliance and Kitchenware:** Potential for appliance manufacturers to explore new product lines that integrate functional elements into fashion accessories. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cigarette Waste Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shearling-style-hat.md) - [Modern Aesthetic Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hay-sowden-toaster.md) - [Trophy-Inspired Toaster Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-bowl.md) - [Game-Inspired Toasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-green-creeper-toaster.md) - [Bread-Themed Fascinators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-hat.md) - [50s-Style Countertop Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-toaster.md) - [Multi-Position Bread Toasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taurus-toaster-30.md) - [Striking Artisan Cheese Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection.md) - [Minimalist One-Slice Toasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toast-appliance.md)
