Vintage Early 1940s Summer Weekend Straw Hat

We love the angles of this early 1940s straw hat!  Natural-toned, woven wicker.  The front brim is much wider than the back (there actually is not back brim).  The top of the hat is flattened in the front.  The brim is also turned down slightly in the front.  The top has a slight forward lean as is typical of hats from this period.   A very structural feel to this summer hat!

 

DETAILS

Label:  none

Best fits:  average size head; sits slightly atop the head (see measurements)

Condition:  Overall excellent.  The hat shows light, normal wear.  The only issue to note is that the elastic holder is a bit stretched out.
