I made this hat out of some upholstery I found at a flea 。This is a magnificent tilt hat from the fabulous 40\'s...it looks like it was never worn, since the label from Carson, Pirie & Scott, a famous Chicago department store is attached. The oval structure is completely covered in beautiful aqua feathers arranged in a swirling pattern. The inside is covered in a black mesh fabric. There is an \"O\" ring attached got the inside to help keep the hat in place. Tilt hats were popular in the 1930s and 1940s. They were worn at an angle and held to the back of the head by a strap, rigid ring, elastic band beneath the hair, an extended cap, or a combination of these. 30s Fashion certainly seemed fussier than the 1920s with its relentless ornaments of bows, trims and frills. LABEL:CARSON, PIRIE & SCOTT - CHICAGO plus price/inventory tag... 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.
