    Hello ! Hope all is well with everyone. I am new here. I am looking for anyone that can help me with Maureen O'hara one hat towards the end of 1947 Miracle on 34th street. It's the hat she is wearing when her daughter ( played by Natalie Wood) runs into a cute cape the house she asked Santa to get her. The hat looks like it's made from wool felt, lined w real fur. It's such a beautiful hay. Can anyone help ? Or lead me in the right direction? Or even better yet maybe someone could make it . Thank you all ..Angie Screenshot_20211127-084933_Google.jpg Screenshot_20211126-231128_Chrome.jpg Screenshot_20211127-085244_Google.jpg

    That's a very specific ask, but I can see why you are drawn to it - the pompoms are a fun touch.

    I did a quick search on Etsy for "fur trim 40s hat" and there are several being offered, although no exact matches for Ms O'Hara's. VFG's own @Ranch Queen Vintage has a particularly nice one listed.

    Yes, I agree that will be a hard to find hat, as it is likely one of kind made by the costume dpt or studio head milliner to match her coat. The fur balls and trim are mouton (sheared sheep) fur if that helps at all. I love that movie!

    I have one 1940s mouton fur pom pom I could send you, but the hat looks like it has 2 or 3.

    I'm actually getting one made for me. Not sure why I didn't think of a lovely woman that has made me Tam hats and Paddington style hats.. I asked her to come close as possible but instead of off white I want red . I will show pictures when I get it. I asked her to look for vintage fur not rabbit though. Thank you

    Hi ! It's a lovely hat. I actually am getting the hat made by a lovely woman that has made me Tams and Paddington style hats. Not sure why I didn't think of her lol. I even asked for vintage real fur not rabbit though. Sheared sheep ? Are you sure ? I thought it looked like mink or beaver. I will let her know it be sheared sheep. I will show pictures when I get it. Definitely want fur pom poms. I asked for red for the main part of the hat not off white. Thank you

    Angie,

    The pom pom is free, and it is from a 1940s hat too. You can private message me here on the Forums with your address and I will send it to you. Merry Christmas!

    OK! I will get that in the mail within the next 1-2 days. I think I have a black fur pom pom also, not sheared mouton but similar fur.
