Brown hat with multicolored plaid bow and net

Unidentified · 1950s

A brown hat with a multicolored plaid bow and net. The hat is composed of three pieces – one for the crown top, one for the brim, and one for the crown sides - all made from brown synthetic twill. There is layer of stiffener (possibly buckram) sewn in between the twill and the interior lining. The hatband is made from one panel of yellow, red, blue, white, and green plaid synthetic taffeta. It encircles the crown sides and forms a large, tail-less, double looped bow at the front of the hat and is stuffed with a stiffener (possibly buckram or paper).
