This is a glorious navy straw cart wheel, or platter hat from the fashionable 1950s'! The short and flat top crown is surrounded by a very large brim which is wider at the front, then tapers towards the back. The cross is trimmed with a navy grosgrain band which ends in a bow at the back. There is an elastic band attached to the inside of the hat to help keep it in place.Throughout the 1950s, ladies wore hats daily as a part of their attire as was a pair of gloves. To preserve its market, the millinery industry set about creating variety & extravagance. They were now touted as the essential accessory to complete the ensemble. Alternatively, ‘pancake’, ‘mushroom’ or ‘cart wheel’ hats sat flat atop the head reviving turn of the century styles.Label; NEW YORK CREATION + Store Label; MC CURDY'S of RochesterThe N York Dress Institute was formed in 1941 as a joint venture between the clothing manufacturers of New York City & the ILGWU. The label was created by well-known designers who wanted to remain anonymous & wanted to support the New York Creation label & keep it competitive with French styles of the era. The label is small, white and blue & most of the time it states the hat size…22 or 23, or ADJUSTABLE.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. Due to age, feathers, straw, furs, flowers & veils are fragile. Mannequin not for sale.
