Vintage 1930s Tilt Hat | 30s Black Faux Fur Wool Short Brim 。This is a fabulous find, preserved from the 1930s\'. It is a black grosgrain + straw tilt fedora, which is supposed to be worn tilted forward and off to one side. The crown is made of a wide band of grosgrain in a tubular shape, and is surrounded by a short straw brim. There is a thin bow at the front, and a strip of black veiling is around the crown, tied at the back, and forms 2 streamers.To hold the hat in a tilted position, there are 2 grosgrain straps held together with an ele=astic ring.
