content: A cream fur felt cloche with feathers. The crown of the hat is round and fits closely to the head. Fur is used to make the body of the hat. The length of the fur is short, resembling alpaca fur in texture. White and brown feathers are placed on the proper left side of the hat along with two decorative twists of the cream fur. The bottom of the hat is upturned at the brim and has a wire along the edge for shaping. The brim of the hat has a split at the center back. Bias-cut silk satin is placed along the underside of where the hat’s brim is folded upwards. A grosgrain ribbon is stitched along the interior circumference. A label is printed on the crown’s interior and reads [Musketeer IMPORTED BODY MADE IN AUSTRIA] in cream script.
