At fifteen years old, Mark Alex bought his first real cowboy hat—a telescope-crown Western inspired by the hat worn by Little Joe Cartwright on Bonanza. Decades later, that same silhouette became the inspiration for The LJ.
With its distinctive telescope crown and sweeping Western brim, The LJ pays tribute to the hat that started a lifelong appreciation for Western style while carrying the cleaner, more refined character of Hatwater House today.
Rooted in the traditions of the Mexican vaquero and shaped through a distinctly California point of view, The LJ is more than a revival of an old favorite. It's where the Hatwater story began.
