SWANKY 1940's BLACK FELT HAT + TOPSTITCHED WIDE BRIM + BLUE FEATHERS

What a stunning hat from the 1940s'!!! This hat is made of black felt, and the crown is medium height and folded creatively at the top, as shown. The outstanding feature of the hat is the amazing topstitching on the brim. Please take a look at the detailed photos that show the precise work that the milliner created. This is truly outstanding work! The brim is turned up at the back.There is a grosgrain band around the crown which ends in a bow at the side, where blue ostrich feathers emerge. There is an elastic band attached to the inside of the hat to keep it in place. Labels: DRAPER Fifth Avenue, NY + Exclusive with H. P. Wassen and CO.
