Charcoal gray 1940's style perching fedora with peacock blue ribbon band and bandeau
$175.00
Cultivate tailored 1940's style with this snazzy perching mini-fedora!
Blocked in charcoal gray parasisal straw and trimmed with a simple peacock blue moiré petersham ribbon band and tailored bow, this hat is designed to perch saucily to the right (though you can of course wear it in whatever way suits you). The hat is held onto the head with a wired bandeau circle covered in a ruffle of the same petersham. A wired bandeau was a common way to wear a perching hat of this era as longer hair could be dressed and secured through the bandeau. It works very well on short hairdos, too, and happens to be very comfortable to wear.
Interesting aside: This hat was blocked on a hat block carved from a 3D-scanned hat of the era, beautifully mixing old style with new technology. I expect to block many more hats in both straw and felt on this fabulous block!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you custom-make a hat for me?
Yes, I'd be delighted to work with you on the custom hat of your dreams! Give me a sense of what you're looking for and I can provide you with an estimate of turnaround time and cost. Please just ask!
I like a hat in your shop but would prefer it had a different trim. Can you swap out the trim on an existing hat for me?
In some cases I can do this and in some cases I can't. Please don't hesitate to ask and we can discuss it!
How do I care for and store my new hat?
I'm so glad you asked! Avoid wearing a straw hat in wet weather because it will quickly lose its shape in the rain. You may also find that some dyed straws' colors will run when wet.
Avoid getting fabric trims like silk flowers, ribbon ornaments and veils wet as these can still look droopy even after they dry again.
If a felt hat becomes wet, stuff it loosely with tissue before allowing it to dry. If your felt looks dull or dusty, you can use a bristle brush to brush up the nap again.
To store, stuff your hat loosely with tissue paper to hold its shape, and put it in its hat box away from dust and sunlight. Never hang a hat or keep it on a stand or its shape could become distorted over time.
