Vintage 1940s Wool Felt Feather Breton Hat With Veil by New 。This outstanding sample of high fashion hat styles from the 1930\'s is made of a dark cobalt blue felt. It consists of an oval shape that is covered with matching blue and burgundy feathers. At the top center there is a spray of curled burgundy feathers plus a burgundy and black taller feather. The hat is covered in navy veiling, which is tied at the back and streams down. A unique feature is the asymmetrical felt bands at the back. Usually hats of this era just have 2 straps, but this hat has a third one at one side, connecting the band with the hat...see photos.There is also a red \"jewel\" and feather at one side. Women’s 1930s hats were small and simple in decoration, yet their shaping was a work of art. Folded, molded, and angled felt made hats look like something out of a Picasso painting. Label: Consumers Protection Label, size 22 There is no label, indicating it was a custom-made creation. This is an authentic piece of fashion history! This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years. Feathers, straw, flowers & veils are fragile, given their age. Mannequin not for sale.
