label: Description
content: This hat was made at Lord & Taylor with fabric Davidow used to make suit .16 in this accession. Donor Virginia "Jimmie" Booth was a buyer for Lord & Taylor and was involved in Lord & Taylor's American Look program of the 1930s to 60s. American Look was developed to promote American designers. Davidow, founded in 1880, made suits and coats in fine woolens and coordinating fabrics that changed subtly each year. Booth's father-in-law's business, Hillandale Handweavers, supplied the Davidow firm with handwoven "Tweeds From The Farm." Archival materials from Booth can be found in Archives Center collection NMAH.AC.0729.
