Black Velour Beret with Tie Closure

1970s · 1960s · American

A soft black velour beret with a distinctive tie closure at the back. The hat features a full, rounded crown that drapes naturally when worn, characteristic of the casual millinery styles popular in the 1960s. The synthetic velour fabric has a matte finish and appears to have some stretch, allowing the hat to conform to the head shape. A black fabric tie or ribbon extends from the back, likely used to secure the hat or adjust the fit. The construction appears machine-made with clean seaming. This style reflects the 1960s move toward more relaxed, youth-oriented headwear that departed from the structured millinery of previous decades.
