It is designed to be worn on the top of the head so can fit any size. It secures with with two small combs plus has a cute elastic chin strap that can be worn or tucked up inside the hat if preferred.
13.5 inches wide. 13 inches back to front.
Designed by Benjamin B. Greenfield for his legendary company Bes Ben.
Known as Chicago’s “Mad-Hatter” Greenfield designed some of the wittiest, wildest, most surreal hats known to millinery.
Bes Ben hats are displayed in the costume departments of many museums worldwide.
Condition is very good for it’s age. A bit of bending on some of the feather fronds. And on very close inspection one finds a few very light marks on the outermost edges of two petals. All shown in the photos and there is nothing that is obvious when worn.
