Need help dating vintage hat -- 1960s?

I have a vintage hat that I think is 1960s, but I wanted to confirm (hats are easier for me when they have labels, and this one doesn't). It's a cloche style made from dark green felt (not sure if it's wool or fur) with a large bow on the front. It has an interior ribbon band. No markings or labels of any kind.

Hello,

That is a lovely color. I would say you are correct in thinking it is from the 1960s. It could possibly be late 195os, but I lean to early 1960s on this one.

In your photo, the felt looks like a nice quality fur felt. Also, I am 99% sure you have the hat placed backwards on the display head. The bow goes in the back. The inside ribbon is wavy, and I suspect it has been altered or replaced.

Nice hat!
 
Barbara, thank you so much! You're always so helpful with hats. And also, thanks for letting me know about having the hat on backwards. BTW, I'm going to send you a message through your website. I recently got a hat that I want more info on. :)
