STRIKING 1940s' NAVY STRAW HAT + ORANGE RHINESTONE STUDDED OSTRICH FEATHER

This fabulous navy straw asymmetrical hat is enhanced gloriously with the large orange ostrich feather which is studded with rhinestones...even the tip of the quill has a rhinestone. The crown is round and is surrounded by a medium brim which is folded to create the asymmetrical shape. The feather's quill is attached at one side with a navy velour bow. This is such a stunning look! The wartime 40’s saw a huge variety of hats that were suitable for any face shape, hairstyle or personal preference. Throughout the war & on both sides of the Atlantic, elaborate creations brightened dreary utility fashions, brought about by rationing. The only items not rationed were hat materials. Explosions of feathers, veiling & artificial flowers were popular. Label: A CLEMAR Original Please keep in mind that you are buying a vintage hat, not new nor perfect! 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. Feathers, straw, furs, flowers & veils are fragile, given their age. Mannequin not for sale.
