A blue faux fur cap with a knit hatband and visor. The crown of the hat is constructed from four triangular panels of faux fur that are machine-stitched together. A self-fabric pom-pom is hand-stitched to the top of the crown. A cotton jersey knit hat band is machine stitched to the crown and is backed with a non-woven interfacing. The visor at the center front of the hat is covered in cotton jersey knit and shaped with a stiffener possibly cardboard. The inside of the crown is backed with a synthetic knit, possibly acrylic or polyester. A petersham nylon ribbon is machine stitched along the hat's inner circumference. There is a woven label underneath the petersham ribbon that reads [UNION MADE // KH 7273 // IN U.S.A 6].
