Homburg Hunt

[JohnnyB53]

I really like the Akubra, but the brim is too small! Otherwise, my quest would be over. I think that may be the narrowest brim I have ever seen on a homburg. It's a crying shame, really.

Can a hatter or full service hat shop put a Homburg curl in a standard fedora brim?

If so, you could get exactly what you want at the price you want by getting a black or carbon Akubra Bogart (2-1/2" brim) or black or cruiser grey CEO (2-3/4" brim) and get the brim curled. Assuming $20 for the brim curling job, you're looking at $115 total for hat, shipping, and curling.

Hey, here's a thought--maybe you could do a custom order for this from Hatsdirect. email 'em and see.
