Note- some technical glitches with this post sent it into cyberspace where many of you could not find it. As such, I’ve reposted it here and will reopen its poll until next Tuesday, December 8.

The months of September and October saw several wonderful new royal hats make their debut. Based on your comments, these bandeau, saucer, pillbox, fedora, upsweep, bowler and beret styles all had something to admire.
