Vintage Baby / Doll Sun Hat White Mini-Wale Cotton w/ Elastic Chin Strap

Description

This darling white mini-waled cotton
baby / doll sun hat is excellent vintage condition.
Dating back to the 1950s, the hat's design is similar to a classic nor'easter with a wide brim that goes all the way around to protect baby's head, neck and face from the sun.
This one has the added embellishment of six tiny white buttons that attach the hat to the brim.  Not only does such a design up the "cuteness factor," it has the added benefit of allowing air to circulate so the wearer doesn't overheat in the sun.  Ingenious!
Brim of hat has also been embellished with rows and rows of tiny, sewn stitching which add texture, interest, and also gives the hat's brim additional structure and weight.  Hat comes complete with an elastic chin strap to help keep the hat on the wearer's head which also prevents it from blowing away in a gust of wind. So cute!  (See pix.)
Hat still has its original tag on the inside but unfortunately it is no longer readable so the maker and/or size is unknown.
The head of the doll that's been use the model the hat in the pix above is a bit small for this hat.  For reference, the doll's head used to model the bonnet measures approximately 15" in circumference when measured at the mid-point of her forehead.  A doll or baby with a larger head size obviously would be more suitable.
Hat is in excellent vintage condition including the elastic.  No rips, holes, stains,or repairs. (See pix.)  a A sweet and practical hat for baby or your favorite baby doll that's ready to wear or for gift-giving.
