Congrats—that’s a beauty and suits you to a T! I recently got a guitar that was built the same year I was born—and in the same city. I’d say we’re both showing our age but there’s something special about it. ;)
Cheers,

Hey Rick—this is great. I’m also sorry I wasn’t there for that sale, but I might have benefited from someone else being there—Ive got a Battelstein’s Knox 15 that is one of my favorite everyday hats.

I no longer own this hat but it was an unlined 1950s Flechet, similar to a Stetson Playboy, and the rear brim was about an 1/8 shorter than the rest of the brim, which I thought gave it a kind of sporty, casual look.
