Hat

Hat of green/brown straw. The crown is shaped as a cone with a flattened top. The body of the crown is of dark muted green finely woven straw with a top of openwork strips of the woven straw interwoven to form a latticework or "basket-weave". Around the base of the crown is a wide band of beige grosgrain ribbon overlaid with a narrow band of the same woven straw, with trailing ends at back. Also wrapped around the crown is a fine dark olive green veiling. The flexible brim is turned down sharply at front, and turned up at back. The hat is unlined with a headband of matching beige grosgrain ribbon. Designer's label sewn to inner hatband: "Hazel Eller - Custom Made".
