The hat band is glued into place and has a yellow, velvet bow at the proper right front. The short brim of the hat flares slightly outward and is covered in a green synthetic silk material. A yellow rayon Petersham ribbon lines the interior crown. A fabric label adhered to the center back reads [UNION MADE // DX 250825 // IN U.S.A.// 6] in black text.
