* This mini straw sombrero has a large display of colored feathers matching the brim and hat band. This sombrero is a lively festive hat to wear to any parade or celebratory event. The sombrero was first derived from the Spanish word of sombra meaning shade and was first introduced in the 15th century...so it's been around a very long time. * Wear the brim as made or turn down one side and slant that side farther down on the forehead as it gives a sophisticated flair or wear the feathers in the back. * The hat is about 7" in diameter measuring the upturn on both sides of the brim. * It has a white elastic band that fits behind the head under the hair to secure the mini sombrero. It is light weight and easy to wear. * Wear for the Cinco de Mayo celebrations, Mariachi band participant, folk musicians or any time you want to be reminded of your heritage. A summer party, barbecue, luncheons, Charity Events, Festivals, Parades, Costume Events or out and about.
