Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
That's a great looking grey hat! At that price, I don't think you did bad at all. I bought a light grey Stetson hat four years ago at around $125 dollars, and to me, it was worth that and more. Ofcoursemyhorse, I'm sorry that the wrong hat arrived. While it still looks nice, it is clearly not... -
Cattlemans crease
That's fine. There is nothing wrong with a cattleman's crease, and it could be dressed up, like the most common variations today of the Stetson Open Road hats, or dressed down more like a regular wider brimmed cowboy hat. A cattleman's crease could also look fine on fedoras and homburgs, not... -
Walking around in a fedora...
For similar reasons, I also feel confidently while wearing a hat. I think that a hat could finish one's clothes, depending on the kind of hat worn, whether it is with a suit, sports jacket, coat, shirt and tie, western shirt and jeans, polo shirt and chinos, or something else. There is both an...- The Good

How did people in the 40s-50s casually dress? (Without Suits)
Is that guy wearing a homburg, or a fedora? The brim has a pretty strong curl. The one in the middle right appears to be wearing a western hat, complete with a double-pocket shirt.- The Good

Could black go with anything? Why, or why not?
Thank you, everyone. When the hat gets here, I may try it with both my charcoal grey jacket with maroon pinstripes, and a tan corduroy jacket with a faintly olive green color. I expect that it would look best with my grey suit or jacket, but since it's black, it should be OK with the second... -

Homburg Nation
Thank you! Late 1950s, early '60s seems to be right. It does have a brown leather sweatband, which were supposed to be much more common before black became predominant during that same period, but the brim width was keeping in the style of the narrower looks of that time. It would be interesting... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thank you for your guesses, they seem to be around the right time period, although brown leather sweatbands were much more common during the 1950s, and before, from what I understand. This should be a nice hat. -
Knox Fifteen
It's even got a back bow. That's a nice hat! I bought a Knox Twenty Homburg, today, which I showed in three other threads. -
My Borsalino Trionfo Bari. How to date a modern Borsalino? Decipher the tag?
Thanks for showing this. Is that hat with a dimensional brim, like the Akubra Federation IV for example? The front does look longer, from that angle. I think I like that particular hat turned down, the most, even though turned up is a great style for the Akubra I mentioned. -
My Borsalino Trionfo Bari. How to date a modern Borsalino? Decipher the tag?
I think that hat has a very good look. Fedoras with very wide brims are not common, but they are distinctive, and in your case, I think it works. There's a rakish element to it that suggests confidence. I think even with the brim turned upward all around, it would be a good look. If you could... -

Could black go with anything? Why, or why not?
Regarding a black hat, I finally ended up buying this very nice black Knox Twenty Homburg on ebay. When do you think it is dated, which decade? I decided against buying a modern Akubra Homburg, compared to this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121536130741 -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I'm sorry about the funeral. That is a very nice hat, however. Very good western hats, Joao! -
Ascots
Yes, there were cotton, silk, linen, and wool ties (and suits) made during the 1970s, as well, although polyester really was the fashion. I don't see why not, especially since the back end is wide enough for you. I think most people would see it as some form of an ascot or cravat. I may get one...- The Good

How do you style your hair? How do people react?
It's a good haircut. That's also a very late 19th, and early 20th century look, although you'd see in photographs and movies that the style was still pretty popular until some time in the 1940s or 1950s, speaking from an American perspective. I had a similar hairstyle to that for a few months...- The Good

Could black go with anything? Why, or why not?
Here is another question; could a black fedora acceptably pass in the absence of a homburg with a stroller suit, or even a dinner suit, according to today's standards? I have too few hats to be a strict traditionalist, you see. It's either I buy a black fedora (I would probably wear it with the... -
Could black go with anything? Why, or why not?
There's been a popular perception in modern fashion that black may go with anything. In particular, could black hats work with any color in a suit, jacket, or coat, plus the pants and footwear? I know that black hats are more commonly worn with dark colors like black itself, and any shade of... -
What are you wearing today??
I have no picture, but I wore my cowboy hat, a tan Akubra Snowy River, with jeans, a green plaid flannel shirt, a bolo tie, and a goatskin Wested Raiders of the Lost Ark jacket. I was coming back from a trip to the mountains.- The Good
