1970s YSL Fedora with Chain Detail designer-victor-costa The top is cut looseI think this is the best Fedora I have ever seen! It is Yves Saint Laurent and has a small, neat brim. It is made of a wool and perhaps mohair mix that combined with the bold and dramatic plaid make for a delicious mix of textures. I love love love the chain detail the encircles the hat. Signature Blue ribbon inside. Trust me you will wear this one to death! Excellent condition! 22 23" in diameter. Item# A113
