That's more than a good get. Excellent hats. That one looks super.Pulled the trigger on another nice Homburg. This one by Mac Lachlin (or is it McLachlin?) from a fellow lounger. Always wanted one in gray. Careful what you wish for...Ya might just get it!

Thanks, Jack. That blue MacLachlan was a chance find alright. Superb hats in every way, as you'll soon find out. I'm in doubt however if there's a hatter out there who's able to replicate the craftmanship that went into these hats. MacLachlan hat are a rare find in any shade, so best cherish the one you're going to get!Thanks so much! However, I am in awe of a blue Mac Lachlin (?) you shared! The taller crown on that one is simply a beast! I love pieces with taller crowns. and now that my eyes have been lit with Homburgs, I'm considering a custom built on similar dimensions as larger sizes are rare!
Too funny!!A couple of whiskeys and a late night offer used to have different results. Now they get me three hats for $5.
Hell, I don't even know what size they are. More exciting this way I guess.
1930s Stetson Bowler, late '40s Dobbs Homburg, and a flattened top hat that looks pretty old.

Taking a chance on a modern (ish?) Biltmore "Derby" in cognac. I originally thought it was a nice homburg open crown, but the mfg label calls it a Derby. Needs some serious brim curling to make it more D'orsay and old timey. Made an offer and bought it. We will see, at least it is a nice looking imperial. Got a kick out of the shop name it came from.

I know, doesn't it? Daniele really helped me out with his expertise.Ohhh, they got it right with that hat. Nothing I can point to, but the whole hat just looks “right.”

What the others said. That Dobbs looks promising indeed. You'll get $5 worth of fun out of these no matter what.A couple of whiskeys and a late night offer used to have different results. Now they get me three hats for $5.
