Vintage Rust Wool Picture Hat, ca 1940s

This exquisite hat is in excellent vintage condition: I can find no flaw other than a barely discernible pin head size hole in the back, as magnified in photo #4. There is a tiny interior label that reads: New York Creation, 22, W 077514; on the reverse side: Fair Labor Standards, Customers' Protection Label. It is shown on a 22" head. Please be sure to note the wide, gracefully gathered brim and the iconic slit at the top of the crown.

What a wonderful addition to your vintage hat collection; this piece is sure to enhance your vintage or contemporary ensemble: it is a prime example of wearable 1940s textile art and style.
