1940s Black Straw Tilt Hat

Fuchsia netting is tacked around the crown and down to the back brim.

Grosgrain interior sweatband

Unlined

Maker: Fashion Show Mode (Spring Millinery Festival) Hotel Astor New York Consumer Protection Label

Size: 22 (one size should fit many as it sits on top of the head at a tilt)

Condition: Very Good. I spot cleaned the grosgrain sweatband, but traces of makeup remain to the center front. The original braided elastic strap is losing its stretch but it is still functional.

There are breaks to the netting, so I have folded it back over the brim and tied it, which masks the defects.

Clean sturdy and ready to wear.

Measurements: One size fits most.

Brim Width: 3 1/2"

Crown Height: 3 1/2"

Circumference: about 18 1/2" around the inside
