Hello! I was pretty sure these were 1940s, but I saw several images on Pinterest that could date these to late 30s... any advice on dating would be appreciated!
Dating these straw hats?

Love the trim on the last hat. Bumping this for you.
These are all lovely. I think there is a good chance the 3rd one might be late 30s due to the shallow crown.

Hello,
Aaah, the therapy of the VFG! I have struggled with dating some of these large cartwheel hats myself, and yours look like the styles that were popular from the late 1930s onward through the 1940s. If you can show the labels that may help. This third hat could be 1930's, but if so would be later in the decade. I suspect the green is early 1940s. the middle one...hard to say without handling it in person, but I get a mid to late 1940s vibe from that one.
I love them all.
