DescriptionBrown felt, which from the front looks like a low-crowned derby, with a curled brim. The brim diminishes in width towards the back until it is flush with the crown. A two-inch wide brown grosgrain ribbon encircles the crown; it is twisted at the center back to make it smooth against the crown. A wide double bow decorates the front.
