content: A suede cap with brown tri-color panels. This hat is a variation of the newsboy silhouette with a narrow, flat visor and a full crown. The hat's exterior is made of suede in shades of brown and tan. A metal button covered in the darkest shade of brown is tacked to the top of the crown. The crown is made of triangle shaped panels which are machine sewn together and arranged so that a pattern of three shades of brown and tan alternate twice. The hat's visor extends from the center front of the hat and is made with paper stiffener covered in dark brown suede. The inside of the hat is lined with black synthetic faille. A band of bias-cut synthetic twill tape is machine stitched to the bottom edge of the hat's interior. The twill tape is backed with buckram and paper stiffener is sewn behind the twill tape. A yellow woven union label is stitched at the center back.
