The hat was described by the designer as Felt Button Hat with flying bow trim. The brimless navy hat was from label’s racing collection and retailed for A$540.

WhatKateWore in its blog post reported about the story from  the Courier-Mail,

“More than 30 emails were exchanged, finished samples sent to the Palace for consideration and approval, along with colour swatches too,’’ Mr Howard says.

“The colour palette changed several times, with the final colour to be a dark navy blue as seen today.’’

The chosen modern headpiece known as Boutton (and in an appropriately named ‘Duchess Blue’ hue) is on website www.hatmaker.com.au.”
