This astounding black hat is made of half straw, and half velour. The cap is made of straw. At the side, it is covered by black velour in the shape of a bow. The velour pieces project upwards and downwards, creating a beautiful asymmetrical shape.Over the hat there is a tall, curled feather in striking gold and black colors, resembling tiger fur. There is an elastic band attached to keep the hat in place.The wartime 40’s saw a huge variety of hats that were suitable for any face shape, hairstyle or personal preference. Throughout the war & on both sides of the Atlantic, elaborate creations brightened dreary utility fashions, brought about by rationing. The only items not rationed were hat materials. Explosions of feathers, veiling & artificial flowers were popular. Label: ERNA - Indianapolis, IND plus a size 23 labelThis 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.
