Believe it or not, but these hats were the last word in fashion in 1910! They are taken from a 25-year-old catalogue—published the year his Majesty came to the throne. The hat on the left—or "creation," as they were called in those days—is described as "in Manilla straw, with medium-sized brim. Black velvet trimmed with moire ribbon and pink roses—39/6." The one in the centre is "in leather with stitched brim and buckle of leather. Cerise, emerald and all shades—25/9." On the right is "a maid's hat in shot silk. White and black Valencienne lace on brim. Lined with Leghorn—3½ guineas."
