1920s Bollman Heritage Collection Flapper

Bollman Hat Company roared on during the Roaring Twenties. The 1920's were also known as the Jazz Age. Women finally won the right to vote in 1920. Post-World War I, a divide in culture grew quickly due to Prohibition. Alcoholic beverages were illegal in the United States for the entire decade. The speakeasy culture was full of independent, cigarette-smoking, alcohol drinking women who were not afraid to express themselves and defy the law.
Flappers wore colorful cloches with beaded embellishment. The Flapper hat is a short-brimmed cloche worn by women of this decade with a growing sense of independence. A definite change from the sweet, flowery styles that dominated headwear fashion in the previous decades, the cloche is a confident style which hugs the face. Our cloche in ruby red is classic, flattering and fun!

• This hat comes in a special edition Bollman Heritage Hat Box.
