content: A faux fur black pillbox hat. The hat is made of black synthetic textured faux fur that resembles curly lamb fur or Persian lamb fur. The exterior is made of two pieces: the crown piece and the side panel with a seam sewn at the center back. The hat’s interior structure is made of buckram that is placed between the exterior fabric and the lining. The interior is lined with two panels of black synthetic, one panel is used for the crown, and another is used for the side. The side panel is bias-cut and has a diagonal seam at the proper left side. There is a one-inch-wide black elasticized band machine sewn along the inner circumference. The hat is entirely machine sewn and unlabeled.
