1960s Navy Blue Sculptural Felt Hat | Velvet Ruffle Trim

This striking 1960s navy blue sculptural felt hat captures the moment when American millinery turned architectural.  Navy blue wool felt hat with a directional velvet ruffle rises from the side and sweeps forward across the crown, creating a bold, sculptural line rather than a purely decorative accent. The structured crown and subtly upturned back brim give the hat a confident, modernist silhouette typical of the early Kennedy-era shift in style.Designed by Sylvia and crafted from Pollack felt, this piece reflects the quality of American production and thoughtful design. The rich navy blue felt provides depth and polish, while the asymmetrical trim adds movement and visual interest from every angle.A strong statement hat that works beautifully with tailored coats, sleek dresses, or minimalist looks that let the shape speak for itself.Early 1960sNavy blue wool felt.Sculptural velvet ruffle trim from side to front.Structured crown with upturned back brim.Designed by Sylvia.Pollack felt.Union Made, USA.Hat size 22.Very good vintage condition.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep them in a hatbox or covered with acid-free tissue to prevent dust. Avoid using modern sprays or steam, as these can damage delicate materials and trims. For reshaping or cleaning, it’s best to consult a professional milliner experienced in vintage restoration.
