1954 Velour
This is by far one of the nicest and highest quality velours I have ever handled. After a little steaming and brushing, this hat is very soft to the touch and the nap is as smooth as silk. The felt is fairly thick, but after steaming has that wonderful stiffness yet pliability. I can't wait for Oktoberfest to wear this one out. It might make an appearance for St. Patricks day as well. I have never heard of the maker, but its interesting that this hat has very "American" dimensions.
Crown Height: 5 1/2 Inches Open
Brim Width: 2 1/2 Inches raw edge
