Amazing 1930s straw tilt hat with kind of a light black/dark smokey gray color. The bow has wires in it for adjustment From The Boradway Hat Box. The trap is a little loose (depending on head size) but this could be fixed by adding a pin or having the elastic changed on the small edge of band. This hat is wearable and a great piece of art. Diameter of hat is 12 inch. It's an amazing straw hat.
