Add a lace or net veil around this brim, and this hat will give excellent sun dimming for the eyes.
It isn’t very often I include photos of myself with the hats I offer. But, I think this helps give a good idea of the look. I measure 21.5″ at my hairline, where this hat sits. The brim reaches over my eyes. From the front, you can see I can still see easily without the brim covering my face. (If I tilted the hat further forward, I would have even more coverage.)
Here is an assortment of images showing this shape with varied depths of the brim.
Illustrations – Godey’s Magazine 1862. Photographs – circa 1840s.
A Walk on the Beach, Augustus Leopold Egg, 1855-60.
