DATING TO THE EARLY EDWARDIAN YEARS
IN OUR 25 YEARS WE HAVE NEVER HAD A HAT SUCH AS THIS. WE HAVE SEEN THEM IN FASHION PRINTS AND PAINTINGS BUT NEVER IN PERSON AND THE CONDITION OF THIS PIECE IS EXCEPTIONAL.
FASHIONED OF A BRAIDED NATURAL STRAW THAT IS RICH IN TEXTURE AND SPIRALS AROUND WITH THE CROWN TRIMMED IN A WHITE AND BLACK SILK GROSGRAIN WITH BOW AT THE SIDE.
THE INTERIOR IS LINED IN A STIFF NET WITH A MOIRE RIBBON RUNNING ACROSS THE INNER HEAD HOLE WITH LEATHER SWEAT BAND AND SMALL BOW AT THE CENTER REAR.
CONDITION: THE SILK GROSGRAIN RIBBON IS DUSTY FROM STORAGE AND COULD USE A CLEANING. THE UNDER SIDE BRIM IS LIGHTER IN COLOR AS THE OUTER SIDE HAS MORE AGE COLOR DUE TO THE WAY IT WAS STORED.
SWEAT BAND IS SLIGHTLY WARPED AT TWO SMALL POINTS WITH TWO SMALL NIPS OF WEAR ON THE VERY EDGE BRIM, NOTE THE IMAGES. NO CREASES, CRACKS, OR SIGNS OF WEAR.

Vintage and antique items ARE NOT new items.
Vintage clothing is described to its best and sold as found…and described as accurately as possible. The items HAVE NOT been cleaned and should be cleaned prior to wearing at the discretion of the buyer. Often for proper fit, hang, and wear ability, pieces will need to be altered and/or adding a hook or snap here or there, with a seam closure or strengthening needed. Vintage clothing is most often worn previously, and if old stock, often has slight imperfections from storage, a hint of color or odor.
Measurements are to be assumed that they are at maximum, if you have any questions, please ask PRIOR to the auction’s end. These are antique articles, having the age stated….all flaws if any are painstakingly outlined. The exact color and sizing of an item is the responsibility of the bidder, please read the measurements carefully and ask questions if uncertain
