1960s Teal Felt Tilt Hat-David Jones Service Millinery | Sculptural Mid-Century Couture Style

Part fashion history, part wearable sculpture- this mid-century tilted hat is a relic of Australian department store heritage.

This hat retains its original David Jones Service label. Hats produced for David Jones department store staff uniforms during the mid-20th century were often crafted by professional milliners to maintain the polished presentation expected of the iconic Australian retailer.

The result is a piece of Australian fashion history that blends the elegance of couture millinery with the heritage of one of Australia’s most famous department stores.
