CHIC 1960s' NAVY FELT "BOWLER" HAT + 2-TONE BLUE GROSGRAIN BAND + VEIL

This beautiful hat was created in the "bowler" style, which has been popular throughout time, but especially during the 60s". The round crown is surrounded by a short brim, and it features a two-tone, wide grosgrain band. There are two beautifully located rhinestone jewels at one side. The hat is covered by a stiffer veiling that has a few breaks, but they are hard to notice. The Bowler Hat is one of the most iconic hat designs in the world. Despite being more than a century and a half old, the Bowler Hat remains a popular fashion choice among both men and women to this day. The first bowler hat was made by Lock & Co.'s chief hat maker, Thomas Bowler, hence why it is known as the Bowler hat. There is no label, but inside the hat there is an imprint stating: Peachfelt - HENRY POLLAK This is an authentic piece of fashion history! This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years. Feathers, straw, flowers & veils are fragile, given their age.
