As you can see in the second photo, the underside of the brim is lined in green silk fabric.
The crown is slightly offset, so the brim is narrower at the back than at the front.
The wide ribbon band is half black, half green.

Hat of the Week: Striped Straw Boater
One from my own collection, a striped straw boater, probably from the early or mid 1960s. Alternating black and ivory straw braids are joined with spiral sewn construction.

The crown is slightly offset, so the brim is narrower at the back than at the front.
The wide ribbon band is half black, half green.

Hat Day at Bouquets to Art, April 23
I'm super excited about going to Hat Day at Bouquets to Art!
Every year they do an amazing event at the De Young Museum in San Francisco, where floral designers create displays inspired by pieces of art in the museum, and they're shown together. People also wear all kinds of crazy flower-related fashions, and fashions made of flowers. And they have a hat day with a hat contest. This year's hat day is on Friday April 23. I hope to see you there!
You can look a photos of past Bouquets to Art here and here.
