That's a sin, Jack! Wear that bad boy, even if it's with cut-offs and sandals.

BTW, I have a similar hat, a little later example, in select quality. I like to think of these as upbrim soft hats rather than homburgs, but I'm not sure there is much of a difference.
Beautiful hat. That’s the kind of hat that makes me want to get another Homburg even though I’ve passed on every one I’ve ever owned.

Thanks Matt! I started out looking for some old time & Sepia tone software or app. Never found anything too authentic looking so far but along the way I found a couple of artistic programs that I kind of like that I kept. I'm learning that the pic you start with has a lot to do with how the results look.
I wish I could find a studio or some props to use.

If I may ask: which program did you use for the pics above?

Sometimes you have to do a couple layers to get to what you want. This is the link I find most helpful. I'm still looking for something to produce tintype & daguerreotype photography if you know of anything.

Thanks for the link, Jack.
Unfortunately I don't have an external programme for tintypes or similar.
My smartphone has an internal image editing programme
that has such things as a default setting...

Imperial Stetson in 3X Beaver Quality - a fifteen dollar hat when sold c.1940 perhaps late 1930s. Hard to capture the intense pine green felt in a photo. One of my favorite hats, worn brim up.

Color, shape, and my favorite Stetson liner: about as close to perfection as they come.

This is one special hat Alan. Absolutely pristine. Love that liner logo so much.
