Vintage Ivory and Dark Blue Hat - An Everitt Original Loosely woven ivory upper portion - the material loops quite nicely - the dark blue brim portion appears to be spunwoven, more tightly than the upper. There is a dark blue velvety band and ivory and blue grosgrain ribbons above the brim. Approx 21" around inside where the hat would fit your head tightly. Hat is in good condition - I do not see any issues.
