Baseball Cap | Vintage Distressed

Heritage-style ball cap from the world’s most famous hatter

Fashions come and go, but the good ol’ baseball cap endures. This one is from the world’s most famous hatter, John B Stetson a brand that knows not to tiddle about too much with a stone-cold classic. It’s very much your old-school 6-panel ball cap with a rounded mid-crown and a slight slope in the back to sit comfortably and securely on your head. Rejecting the trend for flatter brims, the bill’s got plenty of curve in it for a look that’s more 1940s Yankee Stadium than 2015 Silicon Valley.

• Jacuzzi, Jetski, Hoover, Stetson When a brand name gets to be shorthand for the product itself, you know its achieved icon status. Since John B Stetson began selling his famous Boss of the Plains hat in 1855, everyone whos anyone has topped themselves off with a Stetson.

  Take the famous Ten-Gallon Hat made famous by silver screen star Tom Mix or the Skyline model worn by Kevin Costner in TVs Yellowstone. President Lyndon B Johnsons distinctive Open Road became so entwined with his public persona that its still sometimes called an LBJ, and rumour has it that Colonel Custer rode to his doom at Little Big Horn in a Stetson.

  For 150 years, Stetson hats have been emblems of their era. Post-war ad men cut deals in their Stratoliner fedoras, jazz cats and members of the Rat Pack sported a Whippet trilby tipped back on their head, and pictures of Lee Harvey Oswalds assassination show rangy US Marshals all wearing their Open Roads..

  As hat-wearing tastes have changed, Stetson have moved with the times. Sure, they still do the classic fedoras and cattleman crowns, but their modern range includes everything from trappers and truckers to beanies and ball caps all manufactured in accordance with John B Stetsons motto, none but sterling quality.
