Vintage 1960s Mr Charles Black Wool Felt Wide Brim Hat Pheasant Feather Trim Designer Women's Statement Millinery

Vintage 1960s Mr. Charles Black Wool Felt Wide Brim Hat – Dramatic Multicolor Pheasant Feather Trim

Description

A spectacular vintage circa 1960s hat by Mr. Charles, fashioned from deep black wool felt with a dramatic wide brim, softly sculpted crown, and an extraordinary arrangement of colorful natural feathers.

The hat has a bold silhouette characteristic of statement millinery from the 1960s, with its broad, gently shaped brim providing a sophisticated foundation for the exuberant feather treatment rising dramatically along one side of the crown.

The feather arrangement is particularly impressive. Long striped pheasant feathers sweep upward and outward to create exceptional height and movement, while the base is densely layered with shorter feathers in rich rust red, golden yellow, creamy ivory, and glossy black. The feathers have been arranged in overlapping bands that create an almost fan-like or painterly effect against the black felt.

A wide black grosgrain ribbon encircles the base of the crown, providing a tailored contrast to the elaborate featherwork. The combination of restrained black felt and intensely colored feathers gives the hat a wonderful balance of sophistication and theatrical mid-century glamour.

The interior retains its original Mr. Charles designer label and black grosgrain sweatband.

An especially distinctive example of 1960s American statement millinery, this hat would make a fabulous addition to a serious vintage hat collection and is equally suited to dramatic contemporary styling.
