There is hope for the future though. A youtuber I follow paid a visit to Thomas Farthing in London to talk about clothes, but my eye was caught by this hat on display there. Importing it would be costly, but I really like the look of this one. Next time I'm in London I might splurge.
Here's their website: https://thomasfarthing.co.uk/collections/fedoras
From what I gather the hats are made by Fernandez y Roche of Seville, Spain. They also make hats for JJ Hat Center.

It's something isn't it? I think they've just sewn two 4cm ribbons together, but to my eye it really works. Reminds me a bit of that Battersby backbow you own. This hat has a higher crown though.Wow! I really like the hat on that ribbon ;-)
Good eye Stefan! This one has also caught my attention. Here it is wornThere is hope for the future though.

I also like their newsboy caps, though last time I checked they didn't have many in stock and never got back to me

Speaking of Spanish hats, we don't have any dedicated thread here, do we? I think I have found a couple of vintage as such locally
It sure is something. It's even "crazier" than my Battersby. I sure want one, too.
Now we all know what we want, do you think it's too late to get it for christmas?
Very cool find, Brent. I've handled quite a few hats, but I never found one of their hats.Herbert Johnson 62cm in charcoal gray. The color reminds me of Akubra’s carbon gray. The open crown is 5 1/2” and the brim is dimensional: 2 7/8” front and back and 2 5/8” on the sides. Very nice felt for not being vintage.

Thanks for the help.Moores were a top quality Manchester hat maker. Buy it!
That one was sold in Denmark. Are you in Denmark, too?
You're doing well with the formal hats, Steve. Don't think I've seen a Battersby bowler before. Nice one!I have a number of Bowlers and quite a few of them are made by one or other of the Manchester hat makers. This, however, is my first Battersby, my favourite of the hat manufacturers of that area.
12cm crown height, 4.5cm brim to the curl, 2.5cm grosgrain ribbon. Wool or wool blend. Nice feel to the felt as you'd expect from Battersby.

Has that clear and distinctive Battersby liner. Sold in a hat shop in Denmark's 5th largest town, Esbjerg, which is on the south-west coast of the mainland.

The bad news is, the sweatband stitching has popped somewhat at the front.

The best news is, it fits!
