@wffl i have made a couple nice ones with a wet-felting process. it’s not something i want to take commissions for, but if you’re leaning toward DIY i am more than happy to infodump about the process in as much or as little detail as you’d like. it’s not particularly difficult or expensive but it is a bit time-consuming and physically demanding. and your first hat or two will probably come out a little bit…”rustic” aesthetically, so if “nice” means “perfect-looking” you maybe want to buy one.

You don’t acquire it, you earn it!

@wffl I'd recommend felting, or at least working with felt-fabric to give a nice texture to the hat. Here's a tutorial for how to sew one:

@wffl @RnDanger I made one using this Instructables project for a Gandalf hat, if you want something big. Quick and easy!

Gandalf the Grey's Wizard Hat

Gandalf the Grey's Wizard Hat: Let me start by saying I am a big fan of Lord of the Rings -- and all things Tolkien related. I still remember the first time I picked up a copy of The Hobbit in my elementary school library as a fifth-grader, and how many of my teachers and older f…

Etsy has a good selection of which some might hit your requirements? https://www.etsy.com/search?q=witch+hat&ref=search_bar&instant_download=0

[robotistry@mstdn.ca]

@wffl I was going to suggest these:

(my daughter has one and it is spectacular) but then you said one to wear every day. Now all I have is Terry Pratchett's Nanny Ogg describing her hat in Witches Abroad:

"It's got willow reinforcing all the way up to the point and eighteen pockets inside. Can stop a blow with a hammer, this hat."

@wffl I made this hat in about 3 hours … I will share materials and construction in later post (probably in alt text as I can put a lot in there )

[lhaulde@piaille.fr]

@adhemara thanks !

@wffl Yes I do make them, you can choose the color, the size, the material (if it's possible to make a hat out of it)
Estimates are free

[em_and_future_cats@mastodon.social]

@wffl forgive the underside… I was in a hurry and the piece of green fabric was too small ! If I took my time with it I would have stitched much slower and had an even piece to cover the underside

[yavien@social.hackerspace.pl]

@wffl https://www.ravelry.com/projects/yavien/a-practical-witch-hat i knit and felted mine (from 100% wool yarn) and its really nice and sturdy and thanks to random increases whimsily wobbly. however, it is thick and very warm bc its felted wool

[wffl@im-in.space]

@JackMexa4 are you implying I'm not witch enough? ^'

[em_and_future_cats@mastodon.social]

@wffl These are the general materials…(explanations in alt text)

[thepdog@mas.to]

@wffl Have you looked on Etsy?

[lilahexe@fedi.lilahexe.top]

@Sellerie @wffl can't recommend mine unfortunately: the decorations are hotglued into place.

Looks pretty, is probably stable, but still feels like shoddy craftsmanship
