You've brought that one nicely back to life, Tim. Looking forward to seeing your new ribbon.Well another great packing job ! I’m 4 for 4 on my last 4 hats. I’ve been looking for something that would look good with a copper colored ribbon and I want to try my hand at making a shark gill bow. Thought this Mallory would look good in it, and only $10....

That's so cool, Max. Looking forward to seeing you sporting it.Hey, Stefan@steur, look at the other unusual custom I ordered from @humanshoes.
It already arrived, I just have to go pick it up.
It was inspired by a friend of mine's avatar.
He's Dutch, but wishes he were a Spansh swordsman.
Made in 100% beaver, not that chafa (google it) rabbit hair they use for tourist hats in Spain nowadays.

Got another beauty from a great member and neighbor.
Another Stetson Proto Whippet. This one is even softer and more pliable than the brown one.
Thanks Zeth!

Great find, Tim. You wear it just as well as any of us would. Looking forward to seeing more of it in the Homburg Nation, and to seeing how it looks after your bit of TLC.Well I have finally joined the Homburg Nation ! Got this Cavanagh that needs a little TLC, but the felt is excellent. I’m going to replace the ribbon after I practice on the Mallory. From my research on The Hatted Prof., looks like early to mid 50’s with the street address on the liner, but no ‘John’ Cavanagh.
The sweat is a little fragile, but after re-hydrating with Neatsfoot Oil I was able to safely flip it for pics and to condition the inside of it. I think it will be fine now.
I also found some historical info on Malmstedt Hat store in Minneapolis. I’ll post more on the Homburg Nation this evening after I come in from raking leaves.
I know I don’t wear it as well as the Master Stefan or Steve, but......

Welcome to the homburg nation, Tim. Cavanagh is a good one to start with. Great hats all around and lovely homburgs they made also. Looks good on you.Well I have finally joined the Homburg Nation !

[emoji1] Thank you! I was playing with it last night and walking around the house with it. It is such a comfortable hat....Wow, you could cut yourself on that pinch! Great looking hat.

Another great find, Stefan. Some lucky Lounger in that size is going to have one super looking Mayser.This one was sitting on a mannequin in a vintage store and caught my eye. Sometimes things are meant to be.
Echter Mayser wildleder (suede/chamois finish) in a size 61 with a contrasting narrow ribbon and brim binding. Bound brim at just under 7cm and crown 10,5cm at the center dent. The hand to the felt is fabulous and I really like the proportions of this hat.

Congratulations Stefan. "Morello" is one of my favorite colors in the Borsalino range. Some time ago I had found a different one as a felt finish and shape that I left because it was a 58 cm. I almost regret itBorsalino Trionfo in morello colour, which is a very dark brown with some cherry tones to it. Size 57 with the overwelt brim at 4,8cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. Longhaired finish and the hand of the felt is spectacular. Don't see many Trionfo line Borsalinos in the vintage stores here. The label indicates a late sixties to mid-seventies hat.
Very, very nice Mayser! The felt is excellent even if I can't touch it, but I know it form others sourcesThis one was sitting on a mannequin in a vintage store and caught my eye. Sometimes things are meant to be.

Fantastic looking hat, Daniele. The proportions are just right and a heather felt wins bonus points (yes, even if it is in part green).
Stefan both are green, though different The Borsalino is a green so dark that it seems gray, however the color of the "Brughiera" felt means moorland. They are very different in consistency and in my experience they are both from the Cappellificio Cervo which was a master in that type of felt, often in your "hated" color. Borsalino is a master of grays in "Misto" Two rare hats in the Italian production of the heydayGreat find, Daniele. And indeed quite unusual. Never seen a Borsalino like that before
Thanks, Steve. I think I can name that lounger as well. And well deserved it is too.Another great find, Stefan. Some lucky Lounger in that size is going to have one super looking Mayser.

Thank you, Daniele. Two very fortunate finds indeed. Morello is a wonderful colour and I hope to find another homburg in that colour that is my size this time.Congratulations Stefan.

Splendid hat, Scott. I like the crease you put in there.My latest, from @Bill Hughes (again), a '30s Adam: The "Tux Adam."
All black, 2 3/8" brim (my ideal), and all other dimensions in perfect proportion: front pinch right around 4 1/2".
Some pictures with flash (on right), some without (on left), all with a combination of incandescent indoor and outdoor-simulation bulbs.
I think the color is more accurate, in this case, without the flash.

That is a beauty, Scotty. Great sheen, shape, and diamond crease, too. I assume a "Tux Adam" was designed to be worn with a tuxedo. Nothing at all wrong with the way you're wearing it btw. We just don't often see these tuxedo Fedoras. I'm lucky enough to have a Borsalino one. Thanks for sharing.My latest, from @Bill Hughes (again), a '30s Adam: The "Tux Adam."
