This is a lovely Frank Olive black Milan straw hat with a turned up side brimand a fedora/cloche cross style, depending on the size of your head. The base of the crown is decorated with a black straw band and a floral spray on the back. The hat, according to my hat measuring tool, should fit a size 6 1/2 head with a 21 1/2" circumference. It is in very good condition with no noted defect - clean and ready to wear. Age: 1960s Label: Frank Olive History: Frank Olive (1929-1995) was a New York based milliner who started making hats during the 1950s on advice given to him by Norman Norell. He initially supplied custom made hats to Chandra and to Saks 5th Avenue, but the costs involved in hand making hats caused him to turn to more cost effective production methods, During the 60s, he supplied hats to fashion houses such as Oscar de la Renta and Pauline Trigere and other Seventh Avenue design houses, but opened ?Frank Olive?s World? in 1971 with the goal of wider distribution. Frank Olive produced hats under four different labels as well as a budget line under a fifth label, but the label on this hat, ?Frank Olive New York? is known to date to the 1960s This is a fabulous quality vintage Frank Olive Milan straw hat - sophisticated style, sure to be noticed!
