This is a gorgeous wide brim hat from the 1940s'! This vintage hat is very unique as it consists of a crocheted-lookingstraw semi-see-through crown, surrounded by a magnificent felt brim which has a double edge that slightly gathers on top and bottom. You will be able to appreciate the intricate design via the photos.There are 2 small felt bows at the back, and an elastic band has been attached to the inside to hold the hat in position.The wartime 40’s saw a huge variety of hats that were suitable for any face shape, hairstyle or personal preference.
