    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Managed to get some state time in before the rain started. Akubra Balmoral on my keppy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1.). I'd need more info on the look you want. Looks pretty good for a quick bash though. 2.). Just flip it down. Even if it is stiff, you won't break the felt. Try holding the front of it with your right hand on the left side of the hat near your left temple and then slide your hand across...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I finally got my Borsalino Trionfo converted into a Homburg. What do you guys think? I couldn't change the ribbon out or put binding on the brim since Gary didn't have any in-store, but he took pretty good care of me otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Maybe I'll see if they have two or three homburgs of differing brim widths I could try on. Thanks for the advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Both the steel gray and wine ribbons are really nice. Great recommendations! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So I finally talked with the people at the Hat Store in Houston, and I am planning on having them make my wide brimmed black Borsalino Trionfo into a shorter brimmed Homburg on Thursday. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on versatile ribbons and/or brim treatments I could have them...

    Thanks for the compliment! I didn't even think about the Federal Rules connection. Good catch! And yes, all of us lawyers are evil ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for: vintage BLACK fedora 7 3/8 or 7 1/2

    Here are a few more pics, including a profile as requested. The crown is approximately 5 inches with the bash in it. Since it comes pre-bashed with a standard center crease, I did not measure what it would be open crowned. I also should mention that although this hat is technically 7 1/4, I...

    I think it's more of a city hat but the wide brim may give that impression. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for: vintage BLACK fedora 7 3/8 or 7 1/2

    I will try to take some pictures tonight and measure the crown. I am not actually wearing it today. This picture is actually from a few weeks ago but I wanted to get one to you today. I will also figure out a price. Are you in the US for shipping purposes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes. I am not Hasidic myself but it is a Hasidic style. Here is a picture of the hat sitting on an ugly hat rack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Some great hats today, gents! I've been away for about two weeks without a hat, so it feels good to be back in my BGCD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have a black Borsalino Trionfo with a 3.75 inch brim that I was going to have a local hatter turn into a homburg but if you would like it with the original brim, I may be willing to part with it. It is not vintage; however. It is most definitely modern. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have the Cattleman in Bran. I live in Houston and it is one of my go-to hats for the heat (the other one being my hemp Balmoral). The brim is quite large if you are not used to wearing hats but it grew on me (see what I did there?). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Under. You don't have to use the sticky if you plan on removing it. Mine stayed in without sticking it. Nice bash and good-looking hat by the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a standard fedora into a homburg? I have a black Borsalino Trionfo with a nearly 4 inch brim. Thanks to some suggestions here, I am planning to take it to have the brim trimmed down to 2.25 or 2.5 inches. I am wondering if anyone knows if it is...
