Chocolate. Never went for the orange ones too much.

I'm actually disappointed to learn the real story behind my faux Stetson.

I believe I shall stick my fingers in my ears and say "LA LA LA LA LA..."

Yes, indeed...that's much better.

Still, a great story that makes this hat a keeper. Really a nice example. Welcome to the Lounge.

Welcome. This place is a wonderful resource, read and learn. Post some pictures, including liner, sweatband and any tags under it. Someone is bound to be able to help.

Hi there, I'm Daniel from Hamburg, Germany and I'm new here. I'm 31 years old and own five hats at the moment. The new one is a blue Borsalino Fedora, the others are all way cheaper and it took me some time to get to the point where I fell in love with quality hats. I also like flat caps and other headgear. I hope I'll have some interesting conversations in here and I'm looking forward to learn many exciting things about hats.

Welcome to the lounge, Daniel. Pour yourself something strong of your own choosing (coffee, tea, or something "potent"), relax, and poke around. You're among friends and fellow hat enthusiasts. Let's see some pics of your Borsalino when you get a chance. We're here to help.

And by help, we mean encourage you to buy more hats!

Thank you very much! I posted a picture in the Borsalino Brotherhood a few minutes ago!

Hello. I'm half bald, shave my head, and my female college professor friend suggested a Fedora to keep my head warm and not look like a slob wearing a cheap beenie.

I like the shape of the Homburg, but think a nice, solid color wool Homburg would look silly on me for daily use; far too dressy with jeans and a long sleeve cotton shirt. Agree?

Could anyone suggest a style, brand, and or material that dresses down as well as up? Maybe a narrow brim, or stingy brim tweed Fedora? I thought that maybe tweed in a brown color might look more casual. I can get a nice Homburg to go with my wool/cashmere pea coats later.

I'm not photogenic... I'll attach a pic of me in Manila. I'm 5'11" around 195 and have a slim face with a head size of 23.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry. I had to switch apps and missed that. Would like to stay under a hundred bucks. Vintage would be OK. Here are 2 I found. Thoughts? I appreciate your help. I also travel to the Philippines yearly, probably necessitating a second hat other than wool.

You like a hommie as stated so get what you like. Find a nice wider brim hommie. Pinch it to dress it down to wear with jeans and a dress shirt. Pop the pinches out if you want to dress it up with the overcoats. It's a cool hat pinched either way. Look at the guys here...
Mayser/Mmbarnes/BluesAZNmonkey/ and Bowlerman.

Thank you. Are the 2 pictures I posted hommies?

Wlcm, not in my opinion.

Welcome in. Based on your description and the photo attached, I'd suggest something with about 2-1/4" brim, possibly a pork pie. But that's me. If you live within driving distance to a brick/mortar hat store, that's the best way to really find something you'll be happy with.

Enjoy the journey!!

I recommend staying away from those wool or cloth hats and get yourself a furfelt

do a few days of research before you waste money on something you will eventually wish you didn't buy
