    "A Gentleman Does Not Wear a Straw Hat in the Metropolis, sir"

    I think we basically agree - The distinctions between 'Town' and 'Country' were definitely more about climate, social setting, time of day and frame of mind than anything geographical, but generally use of 'City' rather than 'Town' had a narrower reference.

    "A Gentleman Does Not Wear a Straw Hat in the Metropolis, sir"

    Post New Hats Here!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Thanks - not NOS - it was pre-worn, but very lightly judging from the inside - quite dusty on the outside so it had been stored for a while.

    " The Great British Hat Makers "

    That's a lovely Scott. Whilst their bowlers pop up fairly frequently, you don't see many of their fedoras for sale.

    Warm but breezy today. Wegener Homburg: It's a tad formal looking for going jacket-less (I think the grey oddly looks more formal than a plain black homburg)...

    Glued - I'd have guessed at much more recent than '63. One feature I've not seen on a hat before is the way the top of the ribbon is tacked - the long stitches are on the outside.

    Thanks folks. Any idea when Rehfus ceased production? I'm guessing this is a fairly late model.
