This amazing vintage hat from the 1940s' is visually stunning. The color is a beautiful pumpkin orange...the last photo shows the true color. The crown is tall and conical, and is surrounded by a magnificent wide brim. The 2 large, curving pheasant feathers complete this fashion statement hat. Gorgeous!!! There is an elastic band attached to the inside to keep the hat in a tilted position. The wartime 40’s saw a huge variety of hats that were suitable for any face shape, hairstyle or personal preference. Throughout the war & on both sides of the Atlantic, elaborate creations brightened dreary utility fashions, brought about by rationing. The only items not rationed were hat materials. Explosions of feathers, veiling & artificial flowers were popular. Label: Original CHAPEAUX LOUISE - PARIS NEW YORK plus a Size 22 label ... This is an authentic piece of fashion history! This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years. Feathers, straw, flowers & veils are fragile, given their age. Mannequin not for sale.
