A twill pillbox hat with a self-fabric bow in the front. The hat is made of a synthetic blended white novelty twill weave. The exterior structure of the hat is made of three pieces of fabric, one for the top of the crown and two pieces for the sides. Seams are present on the sides of the hat with a gather at the center of each seam. The top of crown and side bands are machine-stitched together. A large self-fabric bow is sewn to the center front of the hat. Interfacing is placed at the top of the crown, hidden by the lining. The hat is lined with the same fabric that is used on the exterior.
