Hat help ?

[catspyjamas]

I just bought this lovely hat for $10. Can anyone help me identify it ? It is a Stetson brand but what style would you call it ?

Thanks for any insight !

I'd call it a fairly loud, modified English spring walking hat. The pattern is very "yuppie," so to speak. I see a lot of ties and pants with that kind of pattern on them being marketed to the golf crowd. I saw a very similar hat like that made by Christy's Of London at my local hat shop.

They call it the "Ted Night as Judge Smails" model...

Judge Smails: You know Ty, you should play with Dr. Beeper and myself. I mean, he's been club champion for three years running and I'm no slouch myself.

Ty Webb (Chevy Chase): Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a tremendous slouch.
