Not easy to find an oversized flat cap these days. Same goes for nice looking bride too. Looks like the cap is made from linen fabric.

Surely, there must be a forum member who is reasonably close by to offer help with her collection. This would make a great charitable project. We only need one member to look and examine what hats are in the collection; then that member can take some quick group photos with his cellphone camera...

I really enjoy alan's collection of great hats when he brings them out and his well photographed hats he himself models on his noggin. alan was blessed with perfect head for hats. His carefully selected and vetted collection.... alan to me is fedora lounge's Jay Leno. I adventure to guess...
