The body of the hat is made of four pieces of cotton damask machine stitched together; one for the top of the crown, the sides of the crown, and two for the brim. The hat has a tall crown with a flat top. There is a seam on the side of the crown visible at the center back. Seams are visable on the brim at the center front and center back. The orange damask cotton fabric is decorated with large scale floral and paisley patterning. Elephants and other motifs have been printed with light orange and gold metallic fabric paint. Decorative gold metallic thread is machine stitched around the top of the crown, base of the crown and at two rows at the edge of the brim. Black polyester fusible interfacing lines the inside of the hat providing structure.
