This late 1950s early 1960s soft and plush burgundy nylon velvet hat is a variation of a flowerpot style that leans a little towards a layered cloche style hat. It does fit snug on the head. The brim(not wired and slightly rolled under) is very small, just the slightest bit of flare at the base of the hat. There are 3 layers upward to a flat crown, the top layer is more of a roll. There’s a smart little bow at the front of the hat. The inside of the hat is lined with black faille material and there is an inner black Petersham sweatband. This hat has no wired or sculpted base. The only structure of this hat is created by the construction of the soft velvet layers. During this era Miller & Rhoads had a large Millinery Department and they catered to discriminating women for their millinery needs. This vintage hat is not a large hat but is very nicely made with quality materials.
Condition: Very Good
The outer velvet material is in very good condition with no fading and only the very slightest signs of wear. The bow detail has faint pressure marks (possibly the corners may have been against the box it was stored in) on the bows folds. This will most likely not even be noticed at all when the hat is being worn. There is some slight soiling on the inner sweatband at the front that probably came from makeup as the hat as mentioned does fit close to the wearer’s head.
