Heirloom Hat

Photo: T.J. Wilbert

I wanted to create a hat reminiscent of the 1930’s, charming and a touch extravagant, but still practical. So I crafted this newsboy hat from white and cream vintage doilies, sprinkled it with vintage buttons, and a silky lining. It is quite stunning...vintage yet modern…formal yet casual. It is the perfect mix for any occasion.

I designed this hat off of a McHats pattern. Green Trunk Designs is authorized to make and sale hats from McHats patterns.
