1940s Hat Black Wool and Crinoline Wide Brim New York Creation #1524. A dramatic 1940s Old Hollywood era black wool wide brim hat with wide a crinoline edge that sweeps around the hat and both the crinoline and the felt brim are gathered at the point of the teardrop-shaped crown. The crown is very shallow, and is meant to be worn at the back of the head so that the crinoline edge forms a “halo” framing the face. Because of the shallow crown and the way it is worn on the upper crown of the head the hat will fit most, and the size 22 hat label is not really relevant as sizing for hats is done around the widest part of the head above the ears, and this hat is perched on top of the crown instead. The hat is made of high quality fur felt wool and is decorated further with a fur felt bow on the front the the crown and at the apex of the teardrop shaped crown at the back. There is no structure (wires, etc) to the hat but the crinoline is very stiff and helps to hold the shape of the brim, which can be easily adjusted to suit the individual wearer. There is a black grosgrain ribbon hatband inside, and the label is “New York Creation”. The back of the label has “Manufactured under fair labour standards consumer protection label” – this hat was quality designed and made in the USA. There are no issues detected with the hat. The hat appears clean inside and out. The color is jet black and unfaded. The wide swath of black crinoline frames the face beautifully just as it was designed to do. The New York Creations label was created by a group of more than 30 prominent US designers in about 1940, some of them famous but all remained anonymous in their project to forward the image of New York City as the fashion center of the USA and the world. There are no major conditions with the hat. However, this is a vintage hat that is at least 80 years old, and there may be some minor signs of age related wear. The hat is amazingly well preserved for its age – a great find for the collector. The only minor flaw to note is a small area of crinoline about the size of a pea where the threads are a bit askew – not a hole and hard to notice but I mention it just for accuracy. Wear it with your 1940s Old Hollywood look, or for a dramatic addition to any modern formal outfit, as this hat is as relevant today as when it was made in the 1940s. The perfect accessory for the well-dressed woman. This is NOT a reproduction, this is a true vintage 1940s, amazing, quality American made black wool and crinoline wide brim hat by New York Creation.

Important information on vintage sizing. The sizing of vintage clothing can be very different from modern sizes. An item of clothing manufactured 100 years ago was for body shapes different from our own. Although we quote to the nearest. Equivalent US size, we recommend that you review all the detailed measurements provided closely. Please be aware that vintage clothing is neither new nor perfect. In many cases, vintage clothing has been worn and is no longer new, and that is why it is such a good bargain. Excellent antique or vintage condition rarely means new – do not expect new or perfect as there will almost always be some signs of wear, especially with older items. Sometimes we sell newer vintage items that are new old stock (NOS) so they have never been worn and can be in such excellent condition that there are no signs of wear. But some of the garments we sell are 75 years old or more, and even if they were never worn, the fabric may show signs of wear just from being stored all those years. Please assume that older vintage and antique items may have a little dust and/or a few age spots, unless we have specifically stated that we have recently laundered the item. Nevertheless, vintage is a great way to dress extravagantly without having an extravagant budget. You can often find extraordinary examples of antique, vintage or designer items that are wearable textile art and will make you look like a million bucks!
