A wool felt pink hat with two-tone panels. The panels are light and dark pink and are made from a shiny, satiny material. The panels are sewn in an overlapping pattern that extends along the sides of the hat from the front to the back. A decorative piece of pink felt is sewn over a light pink panel of fabric on the back left side of the hat. The interior of the hat is unlined. There is a light pink Petersham ribbon stitched to the interior crown. A yellow fabric tag stitched to the center back over the Petersham ribbon reads [Woodward & Lothrop, Washington, DC]. A smaller fabric tag to the right of the brand label reads [22 ½] in dark brown text.
