1950's Stetson Homburg Conversion (BEFORE)
I really wouldn't consider this a full conversion, thats why I didn't take pictures of the hat being "converted."
I started out with a 1950's Stetson Homburg with a very tall and straight crown. I ironed the brim, chopped the brim to 2 1/4 inches, replaced the liner with a 1950's Stetson cowboy hat red liner that I liked better, and did a little ribbon work. I gave the ribbon a bit more "wing" and frayed it ever so slightly on the back end. My goal was to turn a 1950's homburg into a 1930's fedora.
