Calot hat

A deep chocolate brown fur felt New Look style close-fitting, brimless calot hat. The rounded crown hugs the back and sides of the head, tapering slightly toward the nape. The front and sides of the crown are framed by a twisted felt band, the leaf-shaped edges of which are pinned above the forehead with a hatpin, that adorned with a large blue-green cabochon (resembling a baroque pearl), encased in a textured, gilt-metal foliate setting. The unlined interior features a brown grosgrain sweatband and a thin brown elastic hair strap. 

This piece exemplifies the regional European adoption of mid-century Parisian trends, produced or retailed by Modesalongen ("The Fashion Salon"), a millinery and women's fashion boutique in the coastal Swedish town of Varberg.
