Tonak "Jubilant", size 59cm, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 3/8 inches, NOS condition, 1959. Made for 160 Year Anniversary but 145 years of it was JHS. :) This hat has a really great form (looks late 1930s) for later hat. The felt is fantastic and easily dry creases. This one is from my latest Czech find.

I am thinking you have not one "ugly" hat! Each one just is such a gem. Love the hats!

Thanks Cindy. Its a 2 inch brim.

Bob , You have the Cool Style Factor that lets you pull it off . You can make Anything Work and Look Great ! You never know till you try , but I think many Hommies have 2" Brims , don't they ?
Also , I've always heard a guy can look Super in a Style , or Brim width , Crown height , and if he feels uncomfortable in it , no matter how Great It Looks , it won't float with him . But some people are open to Going For It , Trying Stuff , and others won't .

Thx Mike. Hommies brims may appear small but factor in the brim curl and many are more then 2 inches.

I would say when i
Btw did you put the raiders "turn" in the hat? Can't quite tell from the angle of the photo.
Johnny

Kind of. The ribbon sits in front of my ear, but I didn't deliberately turn it. I could have turned it more to distort the brim, but I didn't want the ribbon to come too far forward. So it does have a little turn in it, but it's not as extreme as the Raiders turn is. I wanted to wear it where it feels most comfortable, but at the same time I do like having the ribbon closer to the front of my face and visible, so it's in the perfect position to achieve that. Sorry, I'm not sure if that's answered your question.

Yup that's what I was wondering. Great looking at. I would keep it the way it is and just wear it. The felt will relax and mold to you as time goes bye.

Tonak Jubilant is a real nice hat!
It was made with special attention to the finishes even if during the Soviet economy!
