These 2 hats are vintage-the blue I think is a 1950s small cartwheel style, the other is a straw hat that I covered with cocoa colored lace & stitched on using tiny 3mm stab-stitches with vintage super sharp #11 milliner's needles. I really appreciate the hatmakers from back in the day because as you can see in the pics the brims were narrowed in the back, avoiding what modern hatmakers have ignored-that hats don't stay on well while a seat back is pushing the brim, whether it is a car, a plane, or a restaurant seat.
