I gave my olive green Battersby an outing today. It's been difficult to catch its true colour. I envy the people behind me looking at its back bow [emoji4]

Greetings All:
Today...i discovered the H2 can eat the baddests**ed battery in 4 hrs if you leave the key on. So...i’m porching and pondering coulda shouldas with The Disney Camel Hair. Nice company to have.
I penned it up with the Borsa Angora with high hopes for hybrid offspring after the consummation.
I appreciate all the kind words for the Borsa et al. as always family loungers.
Be well and turn your keys off. Bowen

Stetson No.Quality purchased from the Chestnut St. store sometime in the late 1930s - early 1940s.

A hand written name underneath the sweatband inspired a search. Could it have belonged to Tuskegee Airman Armour McDaniel? The match is not perfect - McDaniel (not McDaniels) is shown as a Lt. Colonel. But he did attend Temple University in Philadelphia before the War. Perhaps the name was written by someone else at a later time? A fine hat with a good story somewhere... perhaps this one!

It is made in hare "lepre raso" with the frabric sweatband and no lining. Very soft felt, so malleable with a fancy ribbon

I know it's a long stretch, but agree... it would be a great story if the shoe fits.

That is one heck of a ribbon. I rather like it on that hat and on you.

The rain never materialized and the clouds mostly dissipated, so it is in the mid to upper 70s here now.

And I'm having coffee in the yard for what I will call the first time of the summer season.

Have a good evening,
Michael

Michael, no matter if it's safari mode, golf mode, or coffee time that hat and especially its ribbon will suffice any summer time occasion.

Thanks Steve. i was pretty happy to find that one a few weeks back. Probably my nicest Panama. Love that Wide old ribbon Battersby you are wearing today. Makes me want to pull out my Resistol Caronia tomorrow.

Thanks,
Michael
