- Description
- An unfinished black and metallic silver turban style hat designed by Mae Reeves. The hat is made from a black and silver synthetic fabric that has been draped to look like a turban tied on the head, with the folds sewn into place. Two (2) layers of stiff black net are attached around the edges to form a sort of brim, with a blank space at the front of the hat. The interior is lined with off-white heavy weight net fabric. A cream fabric label with black printed text reading "Mae Reeves / OF / PHILADELPHIA" is adhered at the interior center back.
