Description
This super-stylish fedora-style hat from the late 1960s is made of soft black wool velour trimmed with black satin. The wide satin band and narrower satin trim at the edge of the brim have rows of topstitching. The band has two long ends that hang over the brim on the right side and is pierced by a decorative hatpin in black plastic (feels heavy, like Bakelite) with aurora borealis rhinestones. The brim is wider in the front and narrows at the back of the hat. The crown is quite high, and is designed to sit up on above the head when worn for a dramatic effect. (It will not pull down low unless your head happens to be extra teeny-tiny.) The previous owner attempted to make the hat a bit smaller by pleating the inner grosgrain band; we have removed her stitches to bring the hat back to its original size. It is in excellent condition, with a few small scratches on the black plastic hatpin.
