This is a very elegant black 1950s vintage hat made of velour felt. It consists of an asymmetrical cap that hugs the head, and is trimmed with beautiful tall peacock feathers. An outstanding look then and now!Hats were still worn daily by women in the ‘50s. They could be very large, or very little, and were held on the head using elastic linings and long hat pins. They were made from straw, wool felt or satin for evening, and were often decorated with feathers, beads, ribbons, flowers and nylon netting. They were worn in a variety of colors to match every outfit. Hats added the final touch of 1950s glamour to a woman's outfit, particularly in the early 1950s.There is no label, indicating it was a custom-made creation. The felt has an imprint: MADE IN ITALY.This hat is in wonderful vintage condition and has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years. Mannequin not for sale.
