Vintage Black Felt Hat with Velvet Bow and Silk Flower - Mrs. Crosby

All black, and not a thing missing. A velvet bow and a full silk flower sit at the side of a soft, rounded crown — the hat she reached for when the outfit had to be right.

From Mrs. Crosby's own collection. One owner — she bought it new and kept it for years, and it is offered here for the first time. Mrs. Crosby is one of the Legends of Texas at the Fort Worth Stockyards, and an accomplished seamstress who sews her own period dresses by hand. One of one: when it is gone, it is gone.
