Vintage 1940s Chocolate Brown Felt Tilt Hat – Bow Detail Percher Beret

An elegant original vintage 1940s tilt hat in a rich chocolate brown, featuring a beautifully shaped asymmetric crown and understated decorative bow detail.

With its distinctive beret-inspired silhouette, this sculptural little hat is designed to sit at an angle towards the front or side of the head, creating the characteristic profile associated with 1940s millinery.

The softly structured felt has a smooth, velvety appearance, while the gently sweeping shape and tonal bow decoration add interest without overwhelming the simple design.

A wonderfully versatile piece of vintage headwear, equally suited to traditional 1940s styling or worn with contemporary tailoring and winter coats.

Measurements

Internal circumference: To be confirmed

The felt retains its shape and the decorative bow remains in place.

Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description and show the construction, colour and overall condition.
