Vintage Mr. John Classic Pill-Box Hat in a luscious velvet sienna. The cherry on top of your fall ensemble!
History;
In the 1950s, Mr. John was as famous for hats as Christian Dior was for haute couture. Mr. John's hats were synonymous with elegance, style, and glamour. The man and his hats reached the apex of the fashion world. Nobody else even came close to him. Hollywood studios paid him to design hats for Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and Vivien Leigh. Society matrons swooned over him, and he was a major celebrity on his own.
In the 1950s, a Mr. John hat was de rigeur not just in Hollywood films but also on fashion runways and in the watering holes frequented by high society in New York and Palm Beach. Mr. John's client list included such luminaries as the Duchess of Windsor, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Gloria Swanson, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Lauren Bacall. His hats were treasured possessions not just of the rich and famous but also of upwardly mobile, fashion-forward women everywhere. He employed 150 people at his peak and produced 16,000 hats a year under several different labels. In short, he was a household name and one of the most popular milliners of his time.
