With as much dramatic flair as the white and black hat Audrey Hepburn wears to the Ascot Races in the movie "My Fair Lady", this Mr. Hi's Classic hat is spectacular and over the top in design. Made of white polypropylene, with an upturned brim, it is 14 inches across, with a 4 inch high rounded center dome. Beaded floral appliques adorn all sides.

Black and gold bead floral appliques trim one side of the crown, both on the top brim and the underside. On the opposite side of the crown there is an 8 by 7 inch black stiffened tulle ribbon. Black bands trim the rest of the brim, on both the upturned and top sides. Those bands are edged with gold or white half circles.

This is a hat you truly need to see to understand the description here. It is a visual delight that appeals to the eyes and to your tactile senses too.

Mr. Hi's creations are sought after by women who love hats because they are so well made and help women make such a fabulous stylish statement. This hat certainly proves that point.

Made to fit a variety of head sizes, it has a 4 inch high rounded dome. As you can see in the photos, the brim has a ribbon finished edge all around.

A hidden black elastic band is attached for a secure fit when this is being worn. Anytime you don't need to wear that elastic under the back of your hair, you can leave it tucked inside the hat.

Wonderfully clean, in a beautiful classic portrait style, this vintage Mr. Hi's Classic hat is ready-to-wear immediately and is guaranteed to bring you compliments any day of the week.

There is white grosgrain ribbon sweatband and the inside is immaculately clean.

Hats in this style are sometimes called portrait hats or picture hats or even Gainsborough hats. Those refer to an elaborate woman's hat with a wide brim. The name may be derived from the way the broad brim frames the face to create a "picture".

Inside it is 21 and 1/2 inches around
Inside opening is 7 inches across
