I thought to buy it because I could reshape it and make it look dressier.

Afterwards, I figured out I wanted a Homburg style hat.

This site is a joke = they still convert French francs and have no euros = SCARY
They do convert Euros, it's 3 letter currency code is XEU and it's at the end of the list. I dunno why they still have Francs on their list though.

How about this one? It's a really classic design, not at all like a farmer's hat;)

In France, it would be a farmer's hat.

Oh... in that case I would troll ebay. Amazing vintage Homburgs (that are far less popular than fedoras) can often be had for a song, particularly if you have a smaller size.

French farmers evidently have far more fashion sense than their American counterparts!

As for Aussies and their hats, they have a much sunnier climate than the U.S. or Europe, and so hats are more of a necessity. I don't know that they're required anywhere, but perhaps in schools when kids are outside, as a prevention against cancer.

ed_bollix: "black farmers hat???"

What we have is a failure to communicate.
