content: A green net hat with a high, domed crown, a yellow velvet silk bow, and a short brim. The understructure of the hat is composed of a single piece of stiff nylon net. Green cotton organdie covers the hat understructure. Nylon net is gathered at the top of the crown and drapes over the sides of the hat, just past the yellow, silk velvet hatband. The hat band is glued into place and has a yellow, velvet bow at the proper right front. The short brim of the hat flares slightly outward and is covered in a green synthetic silk material. A yellow rayon Petersham ribbon lines the interior crown. A fabric label adhered to the center back reads [UNION MADE // DX 250825 // IN U.S.A.// 6] in black text.
