One of Elton John's preferred materials for his showy costumes is the rhinestone - many of them. This straw hat, covered in a creamy satin fabric, is banded with 11 connected strands of aurora borealis clear crystals, in keeping with his oft-favored Vaudevillian themes. The interior band of the hat is hand-sewn to the satin, formed of several pieces of red, white and blue grosgrain ribbon that have been stitched together. Diameter: 13 3/4
