Vintage 1960s Dark Brown Woven Straw Breton Hat Deep Upturned Brim Women's Mod Mid Century Millinery

Vintage 1960s Dark Brown Woven Straw Breton Hat – Deep Upturned Brim Sculptural Mod Millinery

Description

A striking vintage circa 1960s Breton-style hat fashioned from tightly woven dark chocolate brown straw with a dramatic deep upturned brim and beautifully sculptural mid-century silhouette.

The hat features a rounded, close-fitting domed crown surrounded by a broad brim that turns sharply upward around the circumference. This pronounced rolled-up brim is characteristic of the Breton family of hat styles, creating a distinctive face-framing silhouette while allowing the rounded crown to remain visible above the brim.

The finely woven straw has a smooth, subtly glossy finish that catches the light beautifully and emphasizes the intricate diagonal woven construction. Its rich coloration ranges from chocolate brown to deep espresso depending upon the light, giving the surface wonderful dimension and texture.

A smooth coordinating brown binding follows the upper edge of the brim, emphasizing its dramatic circular shape. At the front, the trim forms a small curled loop detail, providing a restrained decorative accent against the otherwise clean and architectural design.

The interior reveals the tightly woven construction of the crown along with grosgrain ribbon finishing and an interior headband. The substantial upright brim creates a bold frame around the face and gives the hat the wonderfully dramatic proportions associated with fashionable 1960s millinery.

An unusual and highly sculptural example of mid-century hat design with a sophisticated monochromatic brown palette that translates beautifully to contemporary styling.
