Still working on vintage hat project. This week and last, we're doing the research on materials, sources and creating a data file on each hat. Some of the veils needed replacing after 100 years, so we found a source of material in New York and will replace those needing it this week.

Here, Melissa Kuhlman is wearing a black velvet low-profile hat with horsehair wisps on her left side. It was made in Canada exclusively for G. Howard Hodge, 5th Avenue, New York.
