Luxurious Italian Fur Felted Fedora From Hudson's of Detroit Millinery Salon



Luxurious classic style…this authentic Italian vintage hat dates to the very early 1960s based on style and label. 

It is a wonderful piece of fashion history….

This image shows Hudson's of Detroit well before 1961.
The store had phenomenal displays. See images that date through to the final demolition
of the department store by using the YouTube link provided here. 
This Italian fedora for women has the exclusive Hudson’s millinery salon label. The label also indicates that the hat was imported from Italy. At this time, Hudson’s of Detroit was considered one of the most elegant department stores in the world. The building was known as the tallest department store in the world in 1961…just about the time when this hat was first offered for sale.

If you would like to see the interior of this department store from around the time when this hat was offered for sale, please refer to this link: https://youtu.be/bOrzoXvIcd0 With lovely cello music in the background, the documentary of the store is well done.


The elegance of the Italian fur felt is unsurpassed...the quality expected from Italian milliners. The hat is soft as cashmere and velvety rich in appearance. The felt is quite thick and substantial.  This was a very expensive hat when it was originally sold.

The wide brim may be tipped to any angle. It beautifully arches around the face and was designed to enhance the eyes.

The stylish molded crown is deep enough to allow the wearer to twist up her hair inside it if she so desires. The crown has been molded over a wooden form creating a stylish line to the midnight black silhouette. This alone makes the hat all the more luxurious and chic as the Italians are known for this type of sculpted millinery design.

The sizing is for a 22 or 56 cm. The hat fits perfectly at this size and feels firmly in place when pulled over the head. The original milliner has added a small length of millinery elastic to the interior silk grosgrain facing. This gives the hat that little extra snugness so that it will not fly off in a strong wind.

This hat is will make both collectors and curators smile. It is an outstanding, historical example of a fedora styled hat from this era.

  2. Basically is to see what time do you go to clap, summer hot weather, need to wear sunscreen, even without the sun want to slap on the sunscreen, because ultraviolet light through the clouds, and the wind blows, the skin is easy to dry, it is easy to get sunburned tan, so sunscreen, sunshade, wet paper towels and so on all need to get ready, still drink plenty of water, avoid heatstroke.If choose in the second half of the wedding season in the seaside, the bride will choose more less of the wedding shoot, if really want to choose strapless beach wedding dress, best with a big jacket draped in, because from time to time there will be a groom alone, rest at the seaside wedding photograph of the bride will put on the coat is better.


    A few essentials:

    1. Bring a nice and comfortable pair of slippers for photo opportunities and comfort.Also, be sure to bring a nice pair of heels, but be sure to bring a pair of heels that you don't want after your wedding photos.

    2. Remember to bring a nice pair of jean shorts with no outside pockets and cut them down to fit inside your beach wedding dress for your wedding photo shoot.

    3. Be sure to bring more casual clothes, which not only gives you more options, but also ensures you have dry clothes to wear in changeable summer weather.

    4. Shooting seascape wedding photos is very physical, before taking wedding photos do not be too excited, to ensure a good rest, because the state of mind is not, the film will not be very good.

    Before shooting, the new couple also need to maintain their image.Your hair should be trimmed in advance to make it look more natural.Take a shower the night before, rinse your hair, don't use styling fluid, go to bed early and get enough sleep to stay in good shape.The bride should also prepare her own white or beige silicone bras, trim her nails and shave her armpits.Clothes, in order not to destroy the makeup had better wear open button clothes!Groom should prepare oneself black leather shoes, black and white socks each pair, remember to shave beard, nose hair at any time to affect facial beauty, do not wear design and color or dark underwear, especially when wearing white wedding dress, otherwise how embarrassed I think you know.
