1960s AMY New York Blue Green Feather Hat for Marshall Field

Description

A striking 1960s feather hat by AMY New York, designed for Marshall Field & Company Chicago. The hat is built on a structured wool base and covered in layered blue and green feathers with a fine net overlay, creating a saturated peacock-toned surface that shifts beautifully in the light.

The shape is compact, rounded, and clean, with a mod-leaning profile that sits close to the head rather than towering or perching. It has enough color to feel playful, but the simple silhouette keeps it polished and wearable: perfect with a black dress, blue suiting, a bright green knit, a little shift dress, or a sharp evening coat.

The interior label reads AMY New York, designed for Marshall Field & Company Chicago. Era, material, size, and condition are based on Melynda’s in-shoot note, visible label, construction, and 1960s styling.
