This neat little hat was made in France in the 1930's or early 1940's.
Made from forest green felt it is a small, close fitting design. Made to sit on the back of your head, a bit like a bonnet, it is trimmed with brown leather and buckles.
Measurements

Condition
Fair/good with some points to note;
- when held up to the light there are a number of small pinholes in the back, I presume from someone securing the hat with a hat pin
- the buckles and all metalwork on the leather strap show tarnish
- there are two 3mm holes, one in the crown and the other in the brim
- some wear to the edge of the brim
- some minor grazing to the upper layer of the nap, not holes, just grazing
