Vintage 20s 30s Cloche Hat Deadstock Brimmed Fine Straw Huntoon VFG
This sweet and sporty vintage hat dates to the late 1920s / early 1930s. Amazingly, it still has its original price tag pinned to the inner sweatband - originally priced at $5 (In today's dollars, $97), marked down to $2.25. The hat is a modified cloche, designed to sit fairly low on the head. The narrow brim is positioned at a jaunty angle, a little higher on the wearer's left. A thin grosgrain ribbon serves as hatband, anchored in back by a large flat self-straw bow.

CONDITION: Excellent. I have hand stitched a few inches of the inner ribbon headband back in place. No other issues noted - no stains, holes or tears.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
