This is an exceptionally beautiful hat.
Made in America in the 1940s by Austelle, it is made from felt in a rich Kelly green shade. A close fitting back section which hugs to your head and a wired circular section, almost like a beret in shape, which has a ruffled felt trim. It is lined with black fabric and thick net to help keep the shape.

Beautiful. It looks to have barely been worn. Minor points to note;
