I've sold 2 Sylvia hats now, both clearly 80s, and though I can't dig it up now the research I did before selling the first one seemed to point mostly to activity by this milliner in the 80s.
So though this style may have a 70s look to it as Kristine says, I'd still be inclined to date it on the newer side...

mid-80s, I think.
Caryn, thanks for joining as a vfg friend to the forums.
Noticed you have been posting a lot of questions on hats, many that are similiar in style and age...Have you looked at our resources we offer?
Here is a link to the history of hats on our main page...http://vintagefashionguild.org/fashion-history/the-history-of-womens-hats/
Everyone here at the VFG loves to help answer questions but we are all volunteers and sometimes when we see a ton of questions we don't have the time to answer them all, so maybe you can find some info at the link above.
Also...please check out this thread...it is a quick index for vfg friends to find info quickly on their own....it is very handy. A lot of great info on how to do research....

Hi Tiffany, Thank you so much for those links. I remember viewing the history of hats page previously but it was awhile back and I forgot about it. I will definitely be checking those out.
I felt guilty for posting so many hats and taking up so many threads. I am sorry about that. I had previously posted some garments and mentioned that there were some hats and was told that I could post them if I got pictures. Then after posting two hats I was asked if I had anymore so I posted them after because I was asked and any help I can get from those more experienced is greatly appreciated.
I am going to head over to read the info in those links now.
Thank you, Caryn

Hi,
Great guidance to those resources Tiffany! There is a lot of good info out there, so Caryn just start looking around on the web, here in the VFG resource guides, and in books. We are happy to help when you get "stuck" with a question, but you will be surprised how easy it is to find basic information without asking here on the Forum.
HINT.....I highly recommend the book "Vintage Hats and Bonnets" by Susan Langley. Both editions are valuable so I say purchase both if you can. Her book is the best way for beginners to learn. She knows her stuff, and the pictures are gorgeous!
OK....about this hat....I am dating it to the late 1980s to early 1990s, although it could be earlier in the 1980's. That vaguely 1930s vintage style was made for over 20 years by Sylvia and was very popular. I saw tons of them around in 1990. The rooster feathers are typical of the type found on Sylvia hats, but these feathers look added on...not sure.
As I said, these hats are quite common, and it is made of wool felt.
