Description:
This straw wicker cap features grosgrain ribbon designs around the crown. During this time period hats were small in size and varied in shape. They were often worn at an angle. This hat was most likely work during the summer months. The breathable straw wicker material would have kept the wearer cool and the small brim would have helped protect from the sun.
