A forgotten Genius!
Edit: He’s a tough guy to Google. There’s been so many Robert Pattons apparently
That hat is so funny, but silly
It’s no better than wearing a Tilley.
Except the Tilley has strings
So it doesn’t “take wings”
And make you go chase it, willy nilly.
Sports fans everywhere tip their bumbershoot chapeau to you sir.

He’s so damn proud of himself
If anyone was going to do it, it’d be this guy.
Do you think China paying royalties
It’s not even wide enough to cover his beard
He’s also Batman’s dad!
But did he patten it?
Love his grin. At the risk of judging from a single pic, seems like he’d be a fun guy to have a beer with.
Or, now follow me on this, or, put on a hat!
Ahead of his time, and the next storm.
Last I heard, he was blown away upon meeting Mary Poppins.
