Romea La Torraca - 1940s hat ?

    Hi,

    I bought this hat in Italy. It is by Romea La Torraca. My parents think it is old, probably from the 40s but I have doubts (especially due to the sort of seams under the label, see last photo). I want to have your opinion, especially as I do not think I could tell the difference between a 40s hat and a 70s reproduction for example.

    Hi,

    Your photos are not showing, only the lining.

    Thank you for your reply,

    what do you want me to photograph precisely ?

    The hat has a shape similar to a beret.

    The first picture does, but it is true that it is not very clear.

    Here are others :

    Thanks for the added photos. You are correct in that it is not from the 1940s. If you can show the label that would be helpful. It almost looks like a home made hat, making it harder to date, but it looks 1960s era in general style and colors. The lining looks like some sort of knit and I cannot get a good look at what the rest of the hat is made of, sorry.

    Yeah, I was surprised by the colours and sequins too.

    The label :

    It is only attached thanks to four stitches.

    It is weird, even the others do not appear now. It should work now.

  11. I can see all the photos fine on from my phone. Maybe different browsers are giving different results.

    Cute hat.

    Now, I see them all. It looks like it is from the 60s to me. Let's see what others think.
