The ’30s cloche also became known as the Garbo slouch hat. It was designed by Gilbert Adrian and worn by Greta Garbo in Woman of Affair, 1928.
Slouches and sportsters were a Garbo favorite hat style outside of the theater as well. Prior to her acting career, she had worked as a milliner’s assistant. She understood the artistry in hat making, but also the gentlemanly poise it took to wear a men’s hat style with grace.
