This is a modern hat, and I am pretty sure it is wool. But it seems to be pretty good quality for wool and the shape is a nice thirties and the color is pretty unusual. Great beat around hat, or even dress up. Bandd is fabric. Size is a little loose on me and I wear 7 1/8. it is a little greener than the pics might suggest. Nice color. Found it in a thrift store and thought I would pass it along. $20 including shipping in the us. A little more for overseas. Please don't pm. Post on boaard first come fist serve. Then pm if you are first.
