Vintage 1940s Glenover Brown Wool Felt Tilt Hat Layered Scalloped Cutwork Brim Women's WWII Era Millinery

Vintage 1940s Glenover Brown Wool Felt Tilt Hat – Layered Scalloped Cutwork Petal Brim

Description
A wonderfully sculptural vintage circa 1940s hat by Glenover, fashioned from warm medium brown wool felt with an extraordinary layered brim composed of overlapping felt panels finished with decorative scalloped cutwork.

The hat features a small, softly rounded crown surrounded by multiple tiers of individually shaped felt sections. Each panel curves downward and outward like a petal, with repeating punched and cut-out details along the scalloped edges. Layered one over another, they create exceptional depth, movement, and texture while maintaining the tailored character associated with 1940s millinery.

The compact crown and dramatic dimensional brim give the hat a distinctive tilt-hat profile, designed to perch stylishly on the head rather than sit deeply like a traditional full-crown hat. The monochromatic brown felt allows the architectural construction to become the focal point.

The interior retains its original grosgrain ribbon headband and Glenover manufacturer's stamp. A particularly interesting piece for collectors because the decoration is created almost entirely through the manipulation, layering, and cutting of the felt itself rather than applied flowers, feathers, or ribbon.
