Vintage Martha Jean Ladies Hat. Good condition. Does have staining. I did not try to clean it.
This is a beautiful and authentic ladies' formal hat by Martha Jean, dating to the elegant era of the early 1960s. The design is a classic example of mid-century millinery, perfect for a bride or formal occasion. It features a structured, architecturally seamed pillbox shape crafted from a lustrous ivory satin fabric. The hat is finished with a delicate birdcage veil that adds a touch of timeless glamour.
Important Condition Information: Please read carefully and review all photos. This hat is being sold in "as-is" vintage condition. While it is structurally sound and the veil is largely intact, the satin fabric has noticeable staining and discoloration from age and storage. I have made no attempt to clean this piece. It is a wonderful candidate for a skilled restorer or professional cleaner, or can be used as-is for theatrical or costume purposes.
This hat would be a fantastic prop for a theatrical production or photoshoot. It could also serve as a restoration project for a millinery enthusiast or be used as a beautiful decorative piece on a vanity, showcasing authentic mid-century design.
This item is vintage, from the early 1960s, making it over 60 years old. While it is in good structural condition, it has significant flaws as noted, and there may be other minor imperfections that I have missed.
