description: Calotte of brown straw.  Styled as a calotte (also spelled
 "calot"), the hat has a teardrop shaped crown of dark brown straw, with the
 "point" of the teardrop extending down the right side of the wearer's
 head.  The edge of the crown is trimmed with two bands of grosgrain ribbon,
 cream and brown, which have been tightly pleated and arranged to simulate a
 herringbone pattern.  At the right side the ribbons form two simulated
 plumes.  The hat is unlined, with an inner hatband of dark brown grosgrain
 ribbon.  A small cream stitch on the hatband indicates the front of the
 hat.

Retailer's label sewn to inner hatband: "Neiman-Marcus"

The hat is
 accompanied by a single short hatpin, the head of which is covered with dark
 brown grosgrain ribbon matching that of the hat.
