Hey all!
I don't know much about this John Batterson other than the retailer that sold it changed it's name in 1966. I think it has a late 50's vibe, with it's dimensions and straight sided block.

It has something about the felt that's hard to describe without handling it. Kind of like that intangible something about Vita-Felt that escapes explaination for those who have experienced it. But different.
Anyhoo, it's a great color for this Spring-like afternoon.
Have a great day!

The thought of sausage baked into bread sounded too good, so I busted out some sourdough, went down to the store for some chorico, and several hours later, this.

One wouldn't think this would need to be slathered with butter, but it was so good when I did!
To be on topic, I wore a Borsalino while it was in the oven, but didn't take a pic.

Thanks sir. Your hat rack is equally populated.



Thanks Bill.



Mike, thanks sir. Styl'n today.



Thanks Rick.

Cutting some paths thru the yard in a Knox Twenty mid-day. This vintage hat left the house with a soft diamond crease and side dents. The brush and tree limbs shaped the hat naturally. A hat in a "natural" shape is shown in the following pics.
