content: A pearlescent cream synthetic raffia woven hat with a ribbon. The crown and the brim are made of one piece of woven synthetic raffia. The crown is short, fitting close to the top of the head. The synthetic raffia continues to the base of the crown and then slopes upwards and back down to create the brim, which is the same height of the crown. The edge of the brim is folded inwards which gives the brim rounded edges. A cream petersham rayon ribbon is adhered to the raffia on the brim at the proper right. The ribbon is tucked under to create the illusion that it has been interwoven with the raffia. The same ribbon creates a flower shape that is made of three concentric loops that are adhered to keep their shape. The brim is turned under at bottom edge and a cream petersham ribbon sweatband is machine sewn overtop. A strip of buckram encases a paper covered metal wire under the inner band at the raw edge of the synthetic raffia. A woven cream label is stitched to the interior center back of the hat that reads [John Wanamaker].
