What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[moehawk]

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!

Superb, Fabio. Suit and hat look like they're made for eachother.

More sunshine; good for you!

Could use more rain before the dry season starts, but I'll enjoy it while it's here!

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.

So you didn't make that in a jiffy I take it?

Happy Monday, all! Great weekend of hats, guys.

Whatever happened to @Celia? And the other young lady who's handle is slipping my mind right now.

At work under the Frunoberger...

And a brim up for Bob.

Have a great day, all.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

Smashing! The brim has some attitude too.

No. All that steam would make it soggy...

Wearing my 30's long hair from Smith of Wisconsin. Never could find anything on that company, but I like their hat.

So do I: wonderful looking hat, Adrian. We need more longhairs in action.

Shades of brown this morning. A vtg.Stetson Open Road in a carmel/tan hue. This hat is a pristine thin ribbon example of the venerable Open Road. I am wearing it with pride this morning.

Best, Eric -

And so you should, Eric. That's a great hat and lovely colour.

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.

Smashing hat Eric.

Another vehicle to wear a new vintage 1950s tie. Echter Borsalino of the same vintage.

Great look, Mike. But what will people look at first: the tie or the hat? My money's on the hat...

 

[Rogera]

So perfectly natural on you.

Thank you sir, that's a great compliment

The felt seems to reflect some of the color from the blue sky when the hat is in the shade. I never noticed that before.

Have a hap-happ-happy rest of the day.

And, because... Well... You know...

I can just say o wow! That brim goes on to infinity and beyond.

Super looking Borsalino, Anthony. Love the "organic" way that crease looks.

Super looking hat and super looks with the new tie Red. Love it all.

Yes it is indeed my favorite of yours. Crofut & Knapp also made my favorite.

That is some fantastic hat going on there. Great colors. Great proportion.

Perfect hat and coat combination. Inspiring, Michael!

Thanks steur. They both served me well on this snowy day.

New arrival, 30s standard quality.

Nothing standard about that hat, Justin. A stunner!
