T H R I F T: BLACKHAT

i don't really have a great anecdote to go along with my most recently thrifted item.  i was early for a doctor's appointment so i popped into my second favorite thrift store and bee-lined it to this baby.  it fit my head, i do hats well, and i bought it.  (although i will admit to getting a bit of a warm fuzzy feeling when i saw photos of beyonce wearing the same hat when visiting a museum in new york in a magazine in the waiting room.)
although i didn't exactly have hate for this bow, i did feel it was a bit big for the casual look i wanted.  an easy fix - just two stitches to remove with scissors.  snip, snip, done.  so now i feel like it really fits in perfectly with my CAPSULE COLLECTION.  i love it when things come together.

i was unable to find anything on the internet about this particular label so i pose the question to you - what do you think?  eighties?  seventies or sixties?  it makes me think of department store junior miss lines.  i'd love your thoughts on this.

and, plus, also, there is a clear marking on the inside that reads "genuine furfelt".  in researching that i found THIS INFORMATION to be absolutely fascinating.  who knew felt was so interesting?
