Description
This early 1960’s woven natural straw pork pie hat from Italy has a truly stingy, 1 and ¾ inch brim, which can be worn flipped up or down, as the label, “Flip It, implies. It has a brown crochet band with a red, green and natural straw trimming (for the Italian flag colors?). The brim and the top of the crown are a tighter weave, while the straw of the sides of the crown is more openly woven, great for hot summer days. The hat is in excellent condition.
