Newman - Black & White Straw Hat with Silk Abaca Bow

Cha Cha's Newman hat is truly special - the black & white combination is classic chic. The crown of this stylish straw hat is blocked on a vintage pillbox block that features an asymmetrical tip. We use white parasisal for the crown, and pair it with a wide black sisol brim. It is trimmed with a black silk abaca bow, a long pheasant tail, and a white parasisal self-bow at the back. This hat features many detailed millinery techniques, which gives it a stunning vintage look. Silk abaca is our new favorite millinery material, as it has a lovely sheen and makes beautiful bows. Pheasant tails curl like no other feather. This hat is perfect for your next horse racing event, like the Kentucky Derby, a wedding or any other special occasion where you want to turn heads. Custom colors are available. Visit Cha Cha's custom hats page to book an appointment in our NYC hat shop. The Newman hat blends pillbox elegance with Derby drama.
