The narrow pot hat , created in 1912, is a simple pot-shaped women's hat which, in contrast to the bell hat, has no - or only a hinted - brim. In the period after the First World War , he was one of the attributes associated with the “new woman” alongside clothing style, youthfulness, sportiness and motorization.

From the 1920s onwards, hat fashion served primarily practical purposes. Extensive, lavishly decorated hats no longer corresponded to the lifestyle of the modern woman. The simple pot hat could be individually decorated with decorative ribbons.
