This is a lady’s ready-to-wear hat. Such hats were usually sold in the millinery section of department stores such as John Little & Co. This hat, worn for casual occasions, was relatively inexpensive compared to the plaited straw hats with fancy ribbons or muslin puggarees that were also available in the market.
