My taste does not always run to vintage-is-better but in the case of Homburg brims that classic Mona Lisa of a smile seems just right.
I am getting soooo tempted to try one of those myself, either in the Light Grey shade or perhaps going all the way down to Bessemer. I wonder if Hornets would...
Lord Best,
I like your Homburg and it looks swell on you. From the photos, your brim seems flatter (less "smile") than most Homburgs I've seen pictured here. Did you do anything to flatten it out or is that pretty much basic shape in which it was provided to you?
Other than not wanting to spend the money per se for my part the stumbling block to buying a $300-$400 hat is that, even if it were perfectly made and would last literally a lifetime, I'm a long way from being $300+ sure of exactly what hat I want. So as Fedora says, that may be an option that...

The wool felt Belfrey hat I've been wearing has what to me seems like a quite pronounced taper but perhaps that's accentuated by having only a...
A couple followups, if you please...
Regarding the size of the hat, would you say the actual size is a "full 61cm"? My head measures 61cm and that's my size but I can't afford to go even a little bit on the small side of 61 or it feels too snug after an hour or two. But an honest 61cm should...
Christy's sell their Homburg model open crown so I suppose the purchaser creases it when he gets it home. Is there any room for creativity in "bashing" that center crease whilst still claiming the hat as a true Homburg? For my part, unless the crown were particularly high it would be nice to put...
