Vintage Red Felt Hat with Black Veil and Pleated Fan - Mrs. Crosby

Red felt under a black veil, with a pleated black fan and ribbon at the crown. This is not a quiet hat. It was never meant to be.

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.
