The hat is a circa 1950s "Pillbox" hat with a black band, which was a popular style during that era. It appears to be a straw hat, which is often associated with spring and summer wear due to its light and breathable material. The hat has a rounded, flat crown without a brim, which is characteristic of the pillbox style. This style of hat became especially popular in the 1960s, partly due to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who was often seen wearing pillbox hats. The label inside the hat reads "An Original Phil Strann California," suggesting that it was designed by Phil Strann, a designer that might have been known for such vintage accessories.
