Description
This black wool felt hat from the 1930s has a curved brim, rather like a bonnet, and is trimmed with two black felt "feathers" that frame the face on the right side. The oval-shaped crown is shallow and widest from side to side (rather like a bicorne hat with a down-turned brim). The crown is lined with pale pink taffeta and has an inner band of black grosgrain ribbon. Because of its shallow crown, the hat will fit resting high up on the head, not pulled down low like a cloche-style hat. It is in very good to excellent condition, with some wear to the stems and the edges of the felt feathers.
