1940s Iconic Dark Green Felt Bonnet Hat Velvet n Feather Trim Sz 6 7/8 #1438. An iconic 1940s dark green felt bonnet cloche hat with velvet trim and dark green and gold feather tufts on the right side panel. The hat sits on the back of the head with a rounded crown and a short asymmetrical brim that starts at the sides and curls around the front – there is no brim on the back where the hat sits low on the back of the head. The brim curls down and then out. There is an added brim panel on the right which extends lower on that side to the chin, with a curled detail, and to which are attached two curled feather tufts – one matching dark green and one gold. The brim – both the main brim and the added panel, are wired along the edge, and edged in matching dark green velvet. The outer hatband is rolled felt, and there is an inside hatband of black grosgrain ribbon. The designer label is Ruth Jensen (Toronto). The felt was form is stamped “Made in Italy”. The Italian felt is very thick and luxurious, and deep, dark green in color. There were no major issues detected on the hat. The hat appears clean inside and out, the feathers are bright, soft and shiny, and the velvet shows no sign of rubbing. However, this is a vintage hat that is at least 70 years old, so there may be some minor signs of age related wear that I did not notice or record. The photos have been lightened to show detail because the hat is very dark forest green, but there is no fading and the hat looks Kelly green in the photos because the photos have been lightened. The hat is size 6 7/8 (small). The perfect warm winter wool hat to go with your 1940s coat. Quality made in Canada. This is NOT a reproduction, this is an original 1940s dark forest green heavy felt winter hat with velvet and feather trim in an iconic 1940s bonnet design by Ruth Jensen of Toronto.

Although we are experienced dealers in antique and vintage clothing and accessories, we are not experts on everything. We have attempted to describe the item to the best of our abilities, and to point out any flaws.

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!
