This is a beautiful example of a 1940's straw hat.
Made from slightly coarse natural straw, this piece has a wonderful shape, very much like the felt bonnet style hats from the era.
Designed to sit slightly tilted to one side of your head, it has a deep crown which is shallower in the front than the back and a wide sweeping brim. It is finished off with cream grosgrain bands.
Measurements
Inner band 21"
Width 12.5"
Length 13""
Deepest point on crown 4.5"
Condition
Very good with just two minor points to note;
- the grosgrain band is foxed, but this is only really seen on close inspection and could easily be replaced
- the inner band is discoloured but this isn't seen when worn
Postage
Due to the size of the piece, the hat will have to go medium parcel.
