Ben Hogan Signed White 'Hogan' Tam O' Shanter Hat

Ben Hogan added his black marker signature to brim of this Hogan brand white Tam O' Shanter hat that some even call today the Ben Hogan hat and why not. Examine photos of Ben Hogan in his 20's during his first individual professional win at the 1940 North and South Championship, and Hogan in his 80's as an elderly business man in the 1990's and you will find very few constants over the ages with the exception of his signature white ivy cap. It was there on his head in competition over almost all of his professional wins (one exception was a switch to a tartan pattern for his '53 British Open triumph), and it was there in later life as he traveled in suit to his business office post career. The playing days photo of Ben, in cap, is well captured on the cover of James Dodson's work "Ben Hogan An American Life", and an image of Hogan later life in sports coat and traditional flat cap appears in tribute to the man on his approved artwork and corresponding lithograph print series. Size is one size fits all. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
