This is a fine quality fur felt mod bucket hat made by venerable French milliner Fléchet.  Fléchet was founded in 1859 by Gabriel Fléchet in a town called Chazelles-sur-Lyon, near Saint-Etienne.  Fléchet quality of this 60s era, and prior, is put on a par with Italian milliner Borsalino.  This bucket hat is made in black with a matching band around the crown that is decorated with a gold toned buckle. The brim can be worn turned up for a derby look (see photo) or down for a bucket hat style.  It has a rounded crown.  The interior top of the crown has a foil label affixed to it that reads “Modèle Original Fléchet Paris”.  The black grosgrain sweatband is stamped in gold with “100% Fur Felt”.  The size label reads 56, which is the French equivalent of a US size 7 - the opening measures 21 1/4” around the sweatband and although that is a bit small for a size 7, this should sit higher on the head.  It is in very good condition with no pronounced wear, tear or soiling. 

This is an exceptional quality bucket hat …..nice 60s mod style, beautiful fur felt!
