The background field of the flag itself, you may very well notice, is an aged and quite repugnent color and texture. This is due to the adaptive reuse of a historic and notably well preserved banner that once proudly flew above a quite famous Royal European hatter of the 17th century. The material was discovered in the gravesite of the hatter, himself. In fact he was wrapped up in it. We shook it out first before using it.
The Royal Hatter, seen here, wearing his favorite design, and making plans for a specialty dog hair hat, which may have resulted in his death.
The Shield and Hat of Arms insignia, which resides in the lower right quadrant of the flag field is a collective of symbols, including the skull of the first known hat wearer of ancient Mesopotamia. Although his true identity remains a mystery, it is known that the individual was quite the collector of fine headpieces due to the remains that were carefully unearthed during the early archaeological surveys conducted by the IDPHFH's team of anthropologists.
The rapiers, which cross behind the skull, are representative of the often bloody struggle for the right to bear a silly hat upon the crown of defensive individuals throughout history. Like Napolean.
The Hat itself, is also a cod piece discovered in that Mesopotamian ruin, aforementioned. Thought by specialists worldwide to be the very first example of the fedora, it has achieved scientific status as the first hand shaped goat felt hat and labeled the alphaeus fedorus.
Last but not least, the banner which floats at the bottom center of the shield, is inscribed with the Latin "LOL HAT" which roughly translates to "funny hat" in English.
May the new flag of The IDPHFH Club flutter freely and unfettered for all to see, a true rally call to those with hats of a humorous aire.
