Ugly hats in my opinion.
$150 for an ugly patterned wool felt cowboy? Designer indeed...

I showed the picture of the Swanepoel Homburg to my St. Regis, and it insisted on being put back in its box.
As Sir Winston might have said, tomorrow these hats will still be ugly.

I agree in general. They're not for me, but whatever gets people interested.

Come on, are we not metrosexuals here? 
Uh... I think I'll wait for an Art or Optimo before I get one of those.

Actually the Pablo has a pretty cool ribbon. I don't agree with anything else about the hats but that ribbon...I wonder if i can find their source..

That's also the one I find most agreeable, Art. I don't like how the ribbon drapes down over the flange, but I do like the color and stitching of the ribbon itself.

There I go, talking before looking...:eusa_doh:
I didn't see the link posted, and I kept wondering where you all were getting these names like "the pablo" etc.
Now that I've seen all the hats, I have to agree the Pablo is the best looking of the hats (which isn't saying much) and the ribbon is pretty cool. What's up with the homburg looking like it's been run under a horse cart? The ribbon is frayed and rumpled? I guess that's cool?
I don't like the crease of the Regency because the crown is so broad, and when I think of porkpies I certainly don't have that particular hat in mind. Again, the ribbon looks rumpled and stupid. It's a shame, because that hat has nice colors. It also has an interesting take on how the ribbon pleats up in the back - I think that's interesting, had the hat and ribbon been a little neater altogether. [huh]
