Seconds Gilbert Club

Gilbert Pumpkin Club – The Summer Edition: The Distressed Hat Collection 🤠🎃

The Summer Edition of Gilbert Pumpkin Club featured our much-loved Gilbert sporting a rather dashing cowboy hat. What could possibly go wrong? Well… disaster struck in the kiln!

A firing mishap caused the glaze on every single one of Gilbert’s hats to crawl, leaving us with a whole batch of distressed hat cowboys. With the quality we expect from Glosters, we had no choice but to remake the entire club from scratch. The result? Thousands of pounds in materials and countless hours of extra work.

But before these unfortunate little cowboys were destined for the landfill, we had a thought… perhaps their hats weren’t ruined after all?

Introducing the Distressed Hat Gilberts! Each one has its own wonderfully weathered, aged-looking cowboy hat. In fact, we think the effect gives Gilbert the look of a proper cowboy who’s spent a lifetime out on the ranch. 🤠

These are a little different from our usual Glosters finish, and that's exactly what makes them special. They're not quite what we planned, but we think they deserve a little love all the same.

By giving one of these Gilberts a home, you'll be helping us recoup a small part of the considerable cost of our kiln mishap, while also saving a perfectly good little pumpkin from heading to landfill.

A little kiln disaster, a lot of cowboy character, and a second chance for Gilbert.
