but ideally should be replaced with actual grey elastic

It's not quite as vibrant a purple as most of the photos show but not faded like the close up photo either

Some of the darts could be let out for a little more room

puffed sleeves with cuffs and two front patch pockets

Fabric is strong and seams are in good shape

1940s Chocolate Felt Hat with Dotted Veil austrian but ideally should be replacedAdorable 1940s hat in a deep brown felt from "The Broadway Hollywood". I'm not completely certain what the intended orientation of this hat is but I think it can be worn in a few different ways. The veiling is a loop with felt dots and can drape in front or behind the head or pulled over to hang over the eyes. Excellent vintage condition.
