A rare and whimsical vintage hat by Jack McConnell, featuring a sculptural jester-style crown crafted from rich black wool felt. The curled, crown-like peaks are finished with dangling rhinestone beads, giving the piece movement and charm. While smaller in scale than his towering feathered creations, this design still reflects McConnell’s flair for couture-level drama. The red feather tucked behind the label confirms this as one of his personal designs, likely created as a limited, high-fashion commission.
