Adrian velvet hat, 1940s

This unique, softly sculptured velvet hat is an ingenious takeoff on the beret. Like a traditional beret, the top can be tilted and draped to suit the wearer. The top is a flat piece of self-lined velvet attached to a head band.

The headband adds a slight lift and definition to the crown, while holding the hat on the head. The front section is stiffened with black net. The hat was originally sold at the Julius Garfinckel store in Washington.
