content: A maroon wool hat with an asymmetrical upturned brim. The body of the hat is made of red blocked wool felt. The top of the crown is flat and slightly raised at the center. There is a matching hatband made of the same red felt that has a knot with two tails on the proper right side of the hat. The brim of the hat is asymmetrical as it slopes downwards on the proper right side and slopes upwards on the proper left. The brim of the hat is the widest at the front and is shorter in the center back. At the interior of the hat where the crown meets the brim is a machine stitched black grosgrain ribbon sweatband. There is a label at the back of the hat stitched along the sweatband that reads [MADE IN ITALY FOR BERGDORF GOODMAN] in black script.
