This blue wool jersey hood could be worn with the tassels hanging down or tied together. The piece was designed by George Mallard, a London-based milliner who established his business in 1954 under his own name. In 1966 the company was renamed Malyard Hats.

Known for his innovative and fashionable hats, Mallard designed for both men and women and catered to the retail and wholesale trades. The company ceased trading in 1985 upon Mallard's retirement.
