BRIANNA'S CABBY HAT - EARLY 70's STYLE BILLED CORDUROY CAP FROM OUTLANDER



BRIANNA'S CABBY HAT


Hadn't posted on here in a while, but wanted to start sharing some really great late 1960's/early 70's stuff from the popular T.V. series 'Outlander'.

In Outlander Season 3, the character of Brianna Randall Fraser wears a super cute Cabbie hat perfect for the late 60's and early 1970's era in which this part of the story is set.


This billed plush 'retro' corduroy cap not only looks nice and warm, but is superbly stylish too. Perfect in lush neutrals for the upcoming Fall season.

This style of headwear seems to go by quite a few names: Painter Newsboy, Paperboy, Railroad, Cabbie, Cabby, Gatsby, Baker Boy, Billed Cap, and more - whatever it's called, it's very cool.


Below are a few examples of this cap just like Bree's. Click on the photo(s) below or HERE to see a larger image and to get one of these for your very own - super groovy!

1970s STYLE CLEAR MUSHROOM DOME BUBBLE RAIN UMBRELLA

1970s STYLE CLEAR BUBBLE RAIN UMBRELLA


These adorable umbrellas from the 70's were not only super cute but also very practical. The clear waterproof material allowed you full visibility while also keeping you perfectly dry.

They’re designed to be held not just hovering overhead, but instead, with your head right inside the umbrella — which is why clear material was so essential.


The domed shape kept the umbrella from being caught by the wind and turning inside-out. It also kept you safe from the wind - and pelting rain or sleet - as well.

Best of all, rain wouldn't get in your eyes. In fact, nothing would blow in your eyes - not even leaves and other debris that would get kicked up by the wind. 


It was like your own personal 'bubble' of protection. Having visibility and protection from the elements allowed you to actually enjoy a rainy day.

Whether you have a hunkering for the past, or just want some great, fun protection from the rain, there are many styles of the Clear Bubble Umbrella still available  today:

1970's STYLE MOLESKIN BELL-BOTTOM PANTS & RUST STRIPED CAP-SLEEVE SWEATER


Clothing styles in the 1970's had a certain look to them that's unmistakable.

The colors, patterns, and materials were all very specific to that certain era. These 2 pieces are a couple of really good examples.


This pairing of a retro striped cap-sleeve sweater with rust moleskin button-up trousers would be a worthy 70's style befitting Marcia Brady. 

As usual, it's always fun to try and see if there are any styles still out there that are similar.


Maybe some of these would do....
