This was listed on Goodwill as "1950 Tibet Velour", along with some bad pics. Wondering if it might be an autocorrected Thibet, I threw out a last minute bid and won it. Turns out not French, but Czech.
Here's where the description on the listing came from...
And a head shot. It's just a bit loose...
The crown is a scant 5 inches high, the brim is 2 3/4 inches. No lightweight at 170 grams. The swearband has the kind of fake-y feelling like reconstituted, although it could be the processing. The velour is nothing like vintage, but still nice and plush with a very pettable hand. Very well made, with a stitched in liner. I'm guessing this was one of the nicer offerings for it's time.
I am assuming it was made by Tonak.
