Women Wide Brim Bowler Hat Vintage Floral Wool Felt Fedora 。This is an unusual and beautiful 1940s\' black felt hat with a creatively folded wide brim that features a mauve/dusty pink and light blue feathers. Around the round crown there is coordinating blue veil with mauve dots. Simply gorgeous! The wartime 40’s saw a huge variety of hats that were suitable for any face shape, hairstyle or personal preference. Throughout the war & on both sides of the Atlantic, elaborate creations brightened dreary utility fashions, brought about by rationing. The only items not rationed were hat materials. Explosions of feathers, veiling & artificial flowers were popular. Label: LENESTA + Printed inside the hat: PEACHFELT 100% wool- Geo. W. Bollman & Co. Inc. This is an authentic piece of fashion history! This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years.
