Original 1940s WWII wide brim picture hat approximately 18 in diameter – see photo with rule – this is showing inches! 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. I love a good picture hat and this is a perfect example. The base of this beauty is crinoline with woven threads of vanilla and chestnut brown in a random order interspaced with vanilla beads. As if this isn’t enough, it is trimmed with a chestnut brown veil and a beautiful off red velvet ribbon. The hat is held on with two velvet covered clips on either side of the head – these are adjustable in or out and the size is a one size fits all. Condition is Used – this is in very good vintage condition – there is no marks or discolouration on the inner band and a couple of tiny holes at the bottom of one of the veil streamers – you can leave this as is – it is very difficult to see or simply trim off the bottom! I know 100% that the designer is G. 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. The item “Original vintage 1940s WWII Wide Brim Picture Hat Designer G.
