Tilt Hat

Feb 25, 2017 | by admin | Hat Resource | Articles

Tilt hats were popular in the 1930s and 1940s. They were worn at an angle and held to the back of the head by a strap, rigid ring, elastic band beneath the hair, or a combination of these. Very small toy or doll hats typically did not have a head-hugging strap feature.
