Sparkling Vintage Hat

This is a Classic early 1960's Hat. The opening is 22cm across (9") and the brim is 10cm (4"). I believe that the brim is intended to curl upwards. the outer edge of the brim has a wire. the inside of the hat has mesh. The cream top is velvet that has been crushed, but is undamaged otherwise. The spectacular 1960's orange, brown and metallic gold fabric is an early polyester, there are a few tiny fibers sticking out. A good steaming and forming on a head form should restore this beauty to its original shape. The tags show it was made in Toronto and includes the union tag.
