Vintage Mid-Century Black & Cream Wide Brim Boater Hat ?? An absolutely stunning, elegant mid-century (circa 1950s) cartwheel/boater style plateau hat. Crafted from a structured, deep midnight black woven straw cloth featuring a distinct flat crown and a wide, shallow brim. Beautifully finished with a high-contrast cream-white bound edge rim. The front crown is adorned with a dense semi-wreath of delicate ivory/cream faux blossoms and green foliage, perfectly accented by black grosgrain ribbon side bows. Built with two flexible interior wire side prongs to clamp comfortably and securely onto the head. • Condition: Outstanding vintage condition! The woven straw body remains remarkably rigid and uncrushed, the cream edge binding is incredibly clean, and the interior head-clip mechanism is fully intact. • Care History: From a strict smoke-free home! Safely stored away from all light, moisture, and dust for optimal preservation. Untouched since it was purchased 20 years ago. • Perfect for: Viva Las Vegas / rockabilly weekender, vintage garden parties, summer weddings, or classic 1950s high-fashion styling. Ships quickly and with extra protective packaging to preserve the brim! Feel free to ask any questions.
