San Diego Hat Company Green Hat with Floral Band

About this piece

DESCRIPTIONOlive green brimmed hat with a rounded, softly structured crown and concentric stitched-braid construction. A lavish side-to-front arrangement of cream and pale blush fabric flowers wraps the crown, mixing pointed chrysanthemum-like blooms with a large layered flower centered by a dimensional gold-glitter dome. Loops of taupe open-weave ribbon with bold black polka dots weave through the petals, while scattered gold glitter traces several petal edges.WORTH NOTINGThe interior label reads San Diego Hat Company, Women’s O/S, Spot Clean, and Made in China. A green grosgrain sweatband finishes the inner opening, and the same braided texture continues across the underside of the brim. The botanical embellishment is concentrated on one side, leaving the opposite profile clean and architectural.MEASUREMENTSLabel size: Women’s O/S (one size). Exact dimensions were not supplied. Estimated from the hat’s visual proportions: brim approximately 3–3.5 inches wide and crown approximately 4 inches high; these are photo-based estimates, not hands-on measurements.CONDITIONPre-owned. The green braided body appears evenly colored, with the crown, brim edge, sweatband, and brand labels intact in the photos. The decorative flowers show creasing, curled or bent petals, loose fibers, and scattered specks consistent with storage and wear. The polka-dot open-weave ribbon has conspicuous fraying and loose threads at cut or folded edges, especially beneath the flowers; glitter placement is irregular and may include some loss.STYLE NOTESPart garden-party romance, part theatrical millinery: the muted olive base keeps the abundant cream blooms and playful spotted ribbon from feeling overly sweet. Pair it with linen tailoring, a simple column dress, or an outdoor-event look that can carry a true statement accessory.FROM THE HOUSEA little meadow, a little mischief, and enough flourish to turn an entrance into an occasion. ~ Genevieve
