Fashion fun with Rudy

Vivian has put together an array of very nice hats for Hattingdon to wear this Christmas. While putting it together in her head, she thought . . . hmmmm, how about posting something fun too — that will bring everyone a “hatful of smiles”. Here’s Rudy.

Oh. Don’t go away until you have read about the squatchee. Who knew? None of us did.

The Squatchee

Do you know what a squatchee is? We didn’t. However, every ball cap in the world has one. Have you guessed?


“The squatchee is the button on top of a ball cap. It is also sometimes called the squatcho. In addition to being on top of the cap, the button is at the center, where all of the panels meet.” 


Not one of us here had heard of it. Did you know? Hmm. The things you learn blogging a hat crazy cartoon horse. Hahaha! Read more about the squatchee at Hat Heaven »

About the cap

The Rudy Hattingdon design begins with a red ballcap with a diamond pattern in white, studded in green with a green brim. Add golden brown antlers, and you have a Christmas hat that will give just about anyone — even a Scrooge — a “hatful of smiles”. And maybe even a bit of chuckling too.

Love y’all. H&Co.

Merry classic

Hello there! The Christmas hat we call Merry has been reimagined, and oh so charming.

Merry is a classic hat featuring a white dome outlined in a gorgeous green, with a matching brim in the same colour. Vivian decorated the front of the hat with two matching holly leaves held in place by two bright red “berry” buttons. Matching red ‘nosebobs’ complete this oh so lovely look. We looooooove it!

Wow. Take a look at this elegant hat. Striking, isn’t it? We love it. Vivian named the design Chrissie.

The Chrissie fashion hat is made of a round, black dome surrounded with a luscious green tilted brim, and trimmed with two large and festive poinsettias.

What a stunning look, and so very merry. We hope you love it too.

Love Hattingdon & Co.

Christmas Carol

Jingle Bells Golden Classic Hat

Greetings and welcome to Hattingdon’s selection of Christmas hats for 2024.

We kick off the festivities with this golden classic hat — embellished with a trio of jolly white jingle bells. We named the hat Carol.

Isn’t she pretty?

Oh, by the way. Did you know there is some debate concerning where the song Jingle Bells comes from?

Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

Two different towns, hundreds of miles apart, both claim to be the birthplace of the iconic song. While Massachusetts-born Pierpont was living in Savannah, Georgia, he had what would be “Jingle Bells” published and copyrighted under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” in 1857.

However, many claim the tune was written years earlier at the Simpson Tavern in Medford, Massachusetts, insisting the author was inspired by his childhood home of Medford where the winters are more apt for sleigh riding.


Jingle bells are sleigh bells, by the way. See you on Thursday!
