Steve, (mayserwegener) asked me to post my new thrift store find on this forum. It's already posted on the Homburg Nation thread. Anything to oblige, Steve, so here goes.











I'm going to start working on re-shaping the brim later today.

Thanks for posting. Hopefully you can straighten it out.

Neat!

Harv, Goethe wore this hat during his time in Italy. The book he wrote about his travels in Italy is really fantastic. I seem to recall him mentioning the hat in the book.

That is a hat that I made for
myself The hat body was from an old Trachten Hat, splendid stiff long hair, wich I shaped new! The old sweatband was stiff and hard so I decided to give him a new from fabric-also the ribbon is new.
