The quality long nap fur felt that this 1960s Miss Dior brimmed hat is made from is a scrumptious shade of brown…..warm and rich with just a touch of red undertones. The crown is rounded and the brim is wired. The inside of the outer brim is covered in brown wool material and the outer hatband that surrounds the base of the hat’s crown is also made from this same brown wool. There is a smart little tab detail at the back of the hat. The fur felt is exquisitely soft and feathery light. The hat is unlined but shows the hat’s fine brown wool body. There is a wide dark brown inner grosgrain ribbon hatband. Carrying the label that the famed House of Dior used to capture it’s younger clientele during the 1960s when interest in wearing hats by young women was on the decline, this hat today is lovely on a lady of any age!

Condition: Very Good

There are two issues to note and one can be seen in the photos (#7 and #8) as it is obvious when viewing the hat from the underside. There is definite fur loss at the back of the underside of the brim in the area of the tab detail. This may have come from rubbing against a coat collar, but regardless of how it happened, it’s there. Fortunately, this issue can’t be seen when the hat is being worn because of being on the underside of the brim. The second issue to note is that the previous owner evidently decided to decorate the front of the hat by pinning something (most likely a brooch) in the area of the base of the brim and this left a very small pin hole mark in the brown wool. This is not very noticeable except that the wool is puckered a wee bit from the pinning. Neither issue takes away from the overall attractive appearance of this hat when being worn.
