Original vintage 1930s/1940s WWII Turban Toque With Drape. This hat is from my own personal collection, which has been exhibited in Museums, Fashion Shows and has also appeared on the Antiques Roadshow. Sadly, lack of space is reluctantly forcing sale of part of my collection. These are the most beautiful style of hat to emerge from the late 1930s/early 1940s. They are in essence a toque made to look a little like a draped turban and they have the most amazing drapes. I have several of these – and believe me, they are really hard to get hold of these days in such good condition. The toque is made of black felt and the drape – which can be worn tucked under the rim of the toque or as a scarf across the throat and over one shoulder – is (I think) a silk crepe. The attention to detail is superb on this with a single row of tiny exquisite faggoting. I would say that this hat is best suited to a medium head size. Condition is Used – this is in very good vintage condition – there are no make up marks inside the hat and it is very clean. One thing to note is the manufacturing process and the fact that the felt right on top of the crown is very thin – there are no holes but just to make you aware. The felt is sound but there are a few spots that need very careful brushing in this area – that is for the new owner to do! Please remember that this item is almost 80 years old and as such is a vintage item going towards antique. It may have an odour – which all vintage clothing acquires over time. I do not believe in shoving fabric conditioner sheets in with items – this does run the risk of damage on delicate garments and frankly, I much prefer the honest fragrance of a timeless piece rather than some hideous chemically induced smell. This item has had a previous life and at least two previous owners! If you want something that is pristine, then this item is not for you. Please examine the images carefully before committing yourself and if in any doubt, please ask questions. I do, in the interests of the environment, reuse clean packaging wherever possible. The carrier will normally be Hermes – I rarely use the post office unless for a small parcel.
