Original 1940s WWII era Felt Hat in Burgundy by Lady Biltmore Fur Felt
Original 1940s WWII Fur Felt hat – size 22 (medium). 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. This is an iconic hat shape of the day – a cross between a fedora and trilby with an iconic shaped brim which frames the face beautifully. Fur felt is a sure sign of quality of manufacture and design as fur felt hoods are the most expensive. Condition is Used – this is in very good vintage condition amazingly, there are no marks or discolourations on the inner band from make up; although there is one mark which is probably due to age. There is one tiny little graze in the felt near the hat band. The hat band itself is burgundy but has faded slightly but is still more than acceptable for an over 80 year old hat! The label reads Lady Biltmore Reg’d, Genuine Fur Felt, made in Canada. 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 and is sent signed for – I rarely use the post office unless for a very small parcel.
