China Hat Photos: Beautiful From the Start



I've started a Tumblr page (http://johnfidlerchinahat.tumblr.com/) to feature a number of the hat related images I see each time I visit a different area or factory in China.

The process of hat making continues to intrigue and I am drawn to stacks of materials in partial stages of completion, the equipment used in production or just the repetition of pattern or colour found within a stock room or factory floor.

As with manufacturing the world over, the headwear industry in China is changing rapidly and many of the images I have found to be common place over the years will soon disappear.

I'm happy to have captured a few and will continue to do so as often as I can.
