1940s Leslie James Hollywood Glamour millinery masterpiece. Brushed felt in a powdered jade blue shade. This is a very rare hat, hardly any stovepipe wide brims of this period have survived. This fabulous hat from legendary milliner to the stars Leslie James is constructed in deep pile brushed fur felt in a powdered jade blue shade. There is a tall stove pipe crown linked to the hat with a band of chiffon, a matching hat pin is pinned into the crown. A wonderful shade wide brim falls all around with a V moulded into the front. It all oozes Hollywood glamour, just stunning. The condition is very wearable, there is general fade and age to the exterior. The hat would benefit from expert dry cleaning. Of one size worn high on the crown and tilted. An incredible statement from the past. This beautiful hat is an ladies average/medium size but suitable for all sizes as it sits high and tilted.
