Vintage 1940s Navy Blue Felt Breton Tilt Toy Doll Hat New York Creation Veil K74
Vintage 1940s Navy Blue & Ecru Felt Breton Tilt Toy Doll Hat New York Creation Veil K74. Please see one additional photo, below ENLARGE photos to inspect it close-up! High Style tilt hat features the most wonderful cut felt flowers that adorn the left tilt strap. Hat body is a miniature Breton style, and it’s just adorable tilted over the right eye! Felt colors are a true navy blue and pale tan, or what I would call “oatmeal”. The two felts are bonded together on the hat body, creating a dramatic contrast, when seen from different angles. The doubled tilt bandeau strap is echoed in the top strip bow. This hat required many hours of restoration, and I love doing that work when the result is as wonderful as this turned out! All the felt surfaces have been sanded and steamed and there was much moth damage that has now been re-felted. Fortunately, most of that occurred on top, under the veil. So, though some unevenness can still be seen, it is hidden from view by the veil. (see detailed view in last photo, below) That veil is new old stock, of the correct vintage, and in mint condition. If you don’t want the veil over your eyes, it is equally happy worn atop the hat or tucked underneath. Diameter brim to brim is only 7. This sits well upon my 22 1/2 head. Label: New York Creations 23. Condition is very good. See notes above regarding the restoration work. Hat appears to have been worn very little – It is strong and fresh. No stains, no odors. Extremely fun and flirty little hat! I have a HUGE amount of vintage hats, vintage clothing and vintage jewelry to sell so check back often! DEAR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE NOTE. If under 4 pounds. Though recent deliveries to Europe have only taken 2 weeks, it is sometimes a slow option and can take as long as 4-6 weeks to be delivered. Kindly keep this all in mind before you open a case!
