The IT  hat of the 1920's, the Cloche was first used to describe a hat with a deep, bell shaped crown, it came to designate all the streamlined, tight-fitted hats that emerged in the early part of the 1920's and beyond.  The Cloche was worn low & straight on the forehead, almost covering the eyebrows.  The very controversial "Bob Hairstyle," with it's chin length blunt cut was the perfect hairstyle for this tight fitting hat.  

 The Cloche was worn throughout the year by both young and older woman, in the winter months the wool cloche would be combined with a Classic wool coat, and in the summer months the cloche would be made of either real or synthetic straw in many different colors.  I found the gorgeous replicas while looking for Vintage wear on Etsy these exqusite cloche are the product of Behida Dolic Most of her hats are one-of-a-kind and hand draped.  Enjoy!
