Description
This bonnet-shaped hat from the late 1940s has a soft outer layer of black, fuzzy fur felt over a wired understructure of stiffer black wool felt that fits close to the head. Two fuzzy felt-covered decorative buttons trim the right side. The black nylon veiling has two small, round black wool tabs used to tie it at the back of the hat. The outer layer has a shallow crown and a separate piece that forms the brim and crosses over itself in back. It sits lower on each side, framing the face. The wire in the understructure is covered with black velvet piping. The hat is in excellent condition.
