Vintage Hat. This late 1930s hat has that forward thrusting crown and definitive style that was a favored design silhouette during this time. It is hand woven and made from straw.  The enormous bow is made from moiré taffeta and the hat is banded with black silk netting that is long enough to flutter in the wind.  No, the veiling was not designed to be a full face veil. It was added for textural interest and simply decorative. The hat is held in place with original elastic band on the interior and is faced with a French grosgrain ribbon. There is no millinery label...circa 1939.
