Aww, you'll think of something.

Greg you've been outdoing yourself lately (if that's possible).

Coming from you, Perry, much appreciated.

Spectacular hat, Greg. On my phone it shows up as very light mint green with a beige, yellowish ribbon. Awesome!

Thank you, sergej. It is one of those chameleon like hats with the last pic showing the most lifelike color. The ribbon is kind of a light gold but does things in the light.

Nutria is so nice.

A beauty Stefan. Never heard of that brand. Vintage??

Sergej, thanks. It is vintage. Battersby was one of the Stockport, England hatters. They lasted until 1966 when they merged with others into Associated British Hat Manufacturers. Soft felt hats by them are quite rare; it's mostly bowlers and homburgs.

Heading out under a kind of very light minty green Royal DeLuxe that started life as a homburg. In due time, it will be a homburg again. I swear it.

I throw in a few "because shadows" pics because... well... because shadows.

Have a happy evening.

Another beauty, Matt. I had a hat in a similar colour once, but I couldn't make it work for me. Suits you very well though.

That is a very good looking hat, John. Is it an early one? (the later Flechet hats lose quite a bit of quality in my experience).
Thanks Stefan!
It's 40's or 50's to the best of my knowledge.
I've seen some later Fléchets online, I think Bollman bought the rights to the name at sone point amd put it on some poor quality hats.
