Oooh, good answer! Here are a couple of leads:Edward said:The ultimate for me would be one of those straw hombergs as worn by Poirot, but I've yet to find one when the requisite scratch is available.
- Dobbs "Basino" shantung straw homburg in natural with 3" brim
- Dobbs "El Dorado" Milan straw homburg in white, steel grey, or black with 2-7/8" brim
It also occurred to me that an Akubra CEO in black or grey might work. Even though it's a safari-shaped hat, it can look surprisingly formal with its very nice felt, formal colors, smartly bashed crown, and matching ribbon. It's also a wicked cool hat for all kinds of occasions or no occasion at all. I have one in cruiser grey.
