40s Tilt Hat in Taupe Wool With Veil and Feathers – Better 。This is a unique part of the grand millinery creations from the 1940s\'! The tilt hat is made of beautiful medium brown, and features a tall, cylindrical crown that slopes up from the back to the front. There is a shiny brown fabric band around the crown, which ends in a bow at the back. The short brim at the front is asymmetrical, extending somewhat at one side to cover the eye as was the fashion of the era.The brim extends towards the back, creating a cap to help keep the hat in a tilted position in addition to the elastic band attached to the inside. Two grand \"feathers\" made of felt emerge from one side of the crown and extend forwards and sideways. One of the \"feathers\" is made of the same color as the hat, and the second one is of a slightly different color. What a beauty! Tilt hats were popular in the 1930s and 1940s. They were worn at an angle and held to the back of the head by a strap, rigid ring, elastic band beneath the hair, an extended cap, or a combination of these.
