1950s Dayne Original Woven Straw Tilt Hat with Grosgrain Chevron Trim – One Size

Product Description:

This dramatic 1950s tilt hat by Dayne Originals is a standout example of midcentury American millinery. Crafted from tightly woven black straw, the structured silhouette sits at a forward angle on the head—true to the classic “tilt hat” form popular in the postwar era.

At the front, layered grosgrain ribbon panels in cream, cocoa, and black form a clean chevron peak, anchored by a single rhinestone for subtle sparkle. The interior is finished with a petersham ribbon band and the original woven label: “An Original by Dayne.” The hat is in excellent vintage condition with no visible flaws, and comes with its original branded hat box, a rare bonus for collectors.

While the netting is no longer present, the structure and presentation remain impeccable, ready to wear or display.

About the Designer:
Dayne was a midcentury American milliner known for bold, feminine forms and department store distribution during the 1940s–1960s. Though lesser-known today, their creations capture the refined glamour of the time with strong shapes and careful detailing.
