Time to break out the straws on this balmy Pennsylvania spring morning.

If that silhouette's a whippet, why isn't it cocking it's leg?
Did I go off half cocked again?

Stetson No. 1 Quality today.

Great looking hat, Bill. Love that ribbon.

I can name that tune in two notes! Looking sharp today. Sunshine.
Thanks Red. Yes, nice and sunny today, if a little chilly.

Finished my paper late last night, now for a trip up to campus in Portland (OR).
Today, we will continue the European Tour of hat by staying in England. Stockport, England to be exact. A Battersby Homburg from the late 40s to early 50s. Black, super soft felt for a "hommie".

The Battersby puts on a nice shine. Good looking hat for sure.

Loving the color and shape on that Adam, Bob. What's it look like in fedora mode?

Thanks all,
Michael

Thanks Michael! It came to me open crown and it's stiff enough that I can't easily show a fedora crease for you ... sorry. I can't remember if I tried that at first and saved any photos (they would be on my dead laptop).

Another early soft hat from the century club - with a Stetson mark that I have not seen on another survivor from the era. The early silver foil store imprint is very nice on this hat - I've found it flaked off in other old hats.

Beautiful hat!
I like it even more because it has my initials stamped in it... :)

Always good to see this one! Such a beautiful example of an early Stetson.

Click ... save. Added to my future-custom-hat-ideas folder. Beautiful!

Bob at Black Sheep knows this hat already! ;)
