Cowboy hat in black felted wool. Tonal leather trim, adorned with Madeleine Albright's initials in metal lettering on the leather band.
Label: Stetson
Country of Origin: United States

​​​N.B. As recounted in Read My Pins, “hats, like jewelry, can be expressive.” From her teenage years in Colorado, Albright developed a fondness for Stetsons. She rekindled this affection when traveling as Secretary of State, both because she liked the look and because as she said “I had more bad hair days than I could count.” ​​ 

This lot is located in Chicago.
