This is such a charming classic hat. Hattingdon always looks so pretty in pink. The floral pattern Vivian created is absolutely darling and suits Hattingdon very well.

Classic Hat Club

Hattingdon has a zillion fashion hats in all shapes, designs and sizes. Because of this, the Hattingdon classic hat often gets very little notice. But don’t you worry.

People who love the classic hat silhouette have formed a group which eventually evolved into a club. What fun they have. We love ya! This month’s Classic Hat series is for you.

Tote

Oh, almost forgot. Here’s the big tote bag Vivian whipped up for you guys. It says Hattingdon Horses in matching pink lettering on the other side. Hattingdon looks really darling, doesn’t she?

Thank you Hattingdonians! We can never love you enough. — HATTINGDON

Curtis the First

Curtis Hattingdon peeks out from this banner. So handsome!

Curtis is Vivian’s first love and always will be. He also happens to be the first cartoon horse she ever created, and the forerunner of what was to become Hattingdon Horses.

It is easy to see why she is so devoted to him. He is also wickedly handsome. Sigh.

The name Morgan

Usually Vivian is able to choose a name for a Hattingdon hat right away. This time it was a bit different. Finally, the name “Morgan” suddenly popped in her head. She thought . . . yes! Vivian knew it was a Welsh name, being from the UK. Look what it means.

Very Well Family tell us:

Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

The name Morgan means “sea-born,” “sea-song,” or “sea-circle.” It is traditionally a boy’s name of Welsh origin, and more specifically, a variant of the Old Welsh name Morcant which is a combination of the Welsh elements mor, meaning “sea” and cant, meaning “circle.”

Perfect. Serendipity at work.

Shiver me timbers

Ever wonder where that expression comes from? We did too. Look.

Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

In heavy seas, ships would be lifted up and pounded down so hard as to “shiver” the timbers, startling the sailors. Such an exclamation was meant to convey a feeling of fear and awe, similar to, “Well, blow me down!”, or, “May God strike me alive and well”. Source »

See you again soon.
