This charming straw hat of the late 1930s or early 1940s will undoubtedly win you the best hat prize at your next Kentucky Derby party. Tilt topper style hat of fine straw is accented with a yellow velvet band and half bow in back. The brim is sprinkled with yellow millinery flowers with three strategically placed bouquets. Velvet covered C shaped wire on each side of the inside of the hat, hold this hat on one’s head.
I have experienced some confusion selling this style of hat on the internets. Particularly this one. It is not meant to fit down on your head like a stocking cap, but rather to perch over one’s brow, at a jaunty tilt.
Measurements
This is a non head sized hat (although it is marked a 22) that will fit any head size at any angle of your choice or straight on (if you’re a weirdo). My milliner friend calls them doll or toy hats…
Length of hat 12 inches
Width of hat 13 inches
Height of crown 1.5 inches
If you are accustomed to using centimeters, I suggest you use a conversion chart. I like this one:

Condition
Very good to excellent vintage condition. There is a little soiling to the inside on the grosgrain ribbon near the front. Presumably it is makeup from sitting on one’s forehead.
