Feathers, feathers, feathers.  Marlene and Celia are ready for the street. No matter when you wear the green hat, it’s going to draw attention. So, why not St. Paddy’s Day?  The brown and white number with artistic feather trim is also to die for.  Both are from the 1940’s.

Chin straps … a bit obvious, but SO practical.  Many vintage hats had them, for good reason.  If you’ve ever tried to secure a hat perfect for you outfit onto straight hair, that’s when you’d give anything for something more secure than hairpins.  Vintage-era designers were so ingenious.  The details they thought of for convenience and good fit are legendary.
