From New Line Cinema, Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. comes J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, brought to the big screen in an epic trilogy. Weta Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again, contributing design, specialty props and specialty costumes to all three films.
Wandering Middle-earth’s winding paths is the travelling conjurer Gandalf, known by many names to many peoples in many lands, though few could guess the true extent of his powers or purpose.
His fireworks may delight many a Hobbit youngster, but the Grey Wizard is no mere magician or trickster. Gandalf is old beyond reckoning and wise beyond the reach of mortal men.
This premium quality prop replica of the hat of Gandalf the Grey, worn by actor Ian McKellen in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been crafted by Stansborough to the exact size, design and proportions of the original.
Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films, so effectively they come straight from Middle-earth.
Individually hand crafted from the unique and totally natural Stansborough Grey wool felted fabric, molded and hand stitched, like the original. The Stansborough Grey sheep are some of the rarest sheep in the world.
The hats are created individually by artisan craftspeople at Stansborough using traditional methods and vintage 19th century worsted looms. Each piece is carefully hand finished and processed without the use of chemicals. Right here in Middle-earth (New Zealand).
No Gandalf costume would be complete without it.
