The centre of the lining is printed in gold with the Royal Warrant for Queen Elizabeth II above the maker mark for Woodrow, Piccadilly, London. A handwritten ink mark reading D 338 is present on the lining.

Overall length: 30.5 cm

Condition report:

The hat is in good vintage condition showing light surface soiling and dust, particularly to the light-coloured grosgrain brim binding. The interior leather sweatband exhibits minor age-related wear and staining from use, and the silk lining shows a few small isolated marks. The hat retains its shape well.
