This is a wonderful, classic floppy brimmed hat from the 1960s. It is made with luxurious heavyweight, long fibered fur felt and was
The brim undulates. It is strong enough to shape, depending on your mood. That is, the edge of the brim is meant to be tugged a little here or there...seductively...over one eye or the other.
This hat was first purchased by a very well-to-do lady during the mid-1960s. The story behind it is that the family took many trips to Switzerland for skiing vacations and the original owner purchased it during one of their pleasant times together.
The brim is wider at the front than in the back of the hat. It has a tall crown...tall enough for tall hair or hair twisted up inside.... The felt is so soft, one cannot help but to stroke it....
This is a fine example of one of the last definitive styles found in antique and vintage millinery historical timelines.
