Vintage Pinehurst Ladies Hat. H.P. Wasson and Co. Good condition. The netting is a little torn.
This vintage Pinehurst blue ladies' hat is a sophisticated example of mid-century millinery, originally retailed through the prestigious H.P. Wasson and Co. department store of Indianapolis. Crafted in a rich, textured cerulean blue, the hat features a classic structured silhouette that epitomizes the "Space Age" elegance of the 1950s and 60s. The vibrant color and architectural form offer a layer of academic grace and "found-history" charm, making it a standout accessory for vintage fashion enthusiasts or collectors of regional department store memorabilia.
The hat is in good vintage condition, maintaining its crisp shape and brilliant color. The interior H.P. Wasson and Co. label is intact and serves as a testament to its high-end retail origins. As is common with delicate headwear of this era, the original blue netting veil shows some minor tearing, which adds to the honest, soulful character of the piece. This hat remains a wearable artifact of mid-century social history, perfect for display on a hat stand or as a bold statement piece for a curated vintage ensemble.
This item is vintage, over 60 years old.
