An iconic hat from the late 50s/early 60s. Fabulous moss green color velvet. Exactly matching soft French silk veiling. A matching sating band around the edge (velvet is not going to do well against skin oils!). Fully lined with B&W jacquard silk. Beautifully made. The only label is unionmade in USA. Matching flat bow on top. Size M. Great hat!
