This is a most beautiful hat from the 1950s\' by famous designer JOHN FREDRICKS made of a cream colored straw with a medium height crown, which is shaped at the top with an indentation where a green \"cellophane\" pom pom is attached. The crown is surrounded by a green, wide band of grosgrain, plus an edge of cream colored grosgrain on its top. There is a second green grosgrain band emerging from the pom pom & attached towards then back of the upturned short brim and creating a cascade of grosgrain at the back. This its a small hat that sits at the top of the head, so there is an elastic band attached to the inside to keep it in place. Label: JOHN FREDERICKS\' CHARMER John-Frederics was founded in 1929 by partners John P. Harberger (1902-1993) and Frederick Hirst (1906-1964). The duo designed hats for Hollywood productions including Gone With the Wind (1939), in which Vivien Leigh wore their straw hat. The label has a confusing history because of the partners’ subsequent name-changes: John P. Harberger changed his name twice, first to John Frederics and later, after the partnership dissolved in 1948, to John P. John; he designed solo as Mr. John, and Frederick Hirst as Mr. Fred. This is an authentic piece of fashion history! This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years.Feathers, straw, flowers & veils are fragile, given their age. Mannequin not for sale.
