The hat is solid black. I am unsure if the fabric is velvet or just a nice soft wool. There is some discoloration on the tags on the inside either from wear or age.

This vintage Neiman Marcus black hat is a stunning addition to any wardrobe. The hat features a solid pattern and is perfect for a party or formal occasion. It is a one-size-fits-all hat with a lightweight design that is comfortable to wear all day long.

The hat has two beaded pins as accents and comes with its original box. The vintage style and theme make it a unique and fashionable accessory. It is perfect for women who want to add a touch of elegance to their outfit.
