I like the brim on that Stetson and the vest and tie are great together

I like that hat DD, the brim curl and the crease make a good looking hat even better.

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

Very sharp Mike, perfect tie with that hat and suit

Wearing this Knox Twenty Westlite in an attempt to ward off the evil flu spirits.

Gorgeous Westlite

Crofut & Knapp Forty (a.k.a. Bill's Favorite of My Hats).

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.

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.

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!

Nice one Moe

Staalmeester lords hat today. Don't wear it often, but I should: it's super comfy.

Impressive Lord's hat, Do we call you Sir Stefan now?

WINTER!

Today's wearing of the John Batterson has been pre-empted by the arrival of a package from lands far far away. In said package were objects of great wonder and beauty, including this Hückel Weilheim.

Late afternoon light doesn't do it justice. Stefan posted some WAY better pics of it than my meager photography skills could produce in the German and Austrian thread. Check it out!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming, after a word from our sponsor, Gritty Kitty Kitty Litter. Stays Crunchy...Even In Milk.

That is a beauty John. That ribbon and bow are absolutely crazy good. Is it a dark gray?

Greetings Moe:
I wonder if somehow there is a connection with Stetson hats. With that name it just seems way to coincidental not to be. Who knows, affiliate companies, spin offs could be anything. Interesting your description of the felt quality too. Hmmm
Be well. Bowen

Great hat and tie Mike.
Thanks DD. I'm really liking your Stetsons too.

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

Sweet combo! I loooove that tie.

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

Woof! I love the color--it catches the attention without being obnoxious about it. That alone might make me meditate on having a Homburg on my neanderthal noggin.

Very sharp Mike, perfect tie with that hat and suit

Thanks everyone, I still have one more new tie to pair with a hat. Got three of them off eBay for next to nuthin! Can't find any good ones in our thrift stores.

Got home late tonight from a board meeting, so many great hats today. Everyone was bringing their A game! Just know that each and every one had me smiling from ear to ear while catching up.
