STUNNING 1940s' CREAM STRAW SIDE CAP STYLE + NAVY TRIM, BROOCH & FEATHERS

This hat is a visual delight! It is shaped in a side cap style, and the light colored straw is in excellent condition given its age. The bottom of the cap is edged in navy grosgrain. At one side there is a trim made of grosgrain plus a brooch with rhinestones that show their age. There is a matching cream colored tassel above the brooch, plus navy feathers...one long feather projects towards the back. Simply stunning! A side cap is a military cap that can be folded flat when not being worn. It is also known as a garrison cap or flight cap in the United States. Label: OPPENHEIM COLLINS 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. Mannequin not for sale.
