The round structure is flat at the top, then folded at the front as shown in the photos. At the back there is a bow made from the same felt. Some elegant rust colored feathers adorn the top front of the hat, plus also on top of the bow at the back. An elastic band is attached to the inside to help secure the hat in place under the hair.

They were now touted as the essential accessory to complete the ensemble. Printed inside of the hat: 100% Wool - SAPPHIRE - HENRY POLLAK CO.
