Description
A late 1930's or early 1940's forward-tilt "doll" hat with a neat surprise in back, this black wool felt hat has an oval, bow-trimmed front section that rests at an angle on the forehead. In back, the narrow, curved, wired section helps hold it in place and is covered with a tube of black felt, trimmed with more bows all the way down the back of the head. The bows are all topstitched with matching black thread. The oval front section of the hat has a crown that is lower at the front and a bit taller at the back. The hat is in excellent condition, with a small repair made to the end of the wired section, where the wire was trying to come out from the felt covering. This will not be visible when the hat is worn. This unique hat will look amazing with a tailored suit or a sophisticated cocktail dress.
