1940s hat with ostrich - Gem。This fabulous navy straw asymmetrical hat is enhanced gloriously with the large orange ostrich feather which is studded with rhinestones...even the tip of the quill has a rhinestone. The crown is round and is surrounded by a medium brim which is folded to create the asymmetrical shape. The feather\'s quill is attached at one side with a navy velour bow. This is such a stunning look! 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: A CLEMAR Original Please keep in mind that you are buying a vintage hat, not new nor perfect! 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. Feathers, straw, furs, flowers & veils are fragile, given their age. Mannequin not for sale.
