Tourista Made in Switzerland Expressly for Lord and Taylor open link!
This smart navy bue wool felt hat Is in remarkable condition for being from the "early 40's". This is retrieved from a woman who loved the hat but never wore it. She said she got it many years ago at an estate sale with all the other 30's & 40's hats that were being sold.
The Label reads: Tourista Made in Switzerland Expressly for Lord and Taylor.It has an amazing stitched Swirl in the crown. You can see the detail of this stitching in the photos of the inside of the hat best.
Very clean, only some yellowing on the lable. It is soft and pliable, but remains firm where you want it to be.
The brim can fold down or up at several different angles for effect. It measures 7h x 13w x 8" inside diameter.
You can remember this style in old photos. Very nice and stylish hat.
