Wonderful velours gentlemen! I too went black today, 1930s vented Bantam (SFC).

Yet another ringer... great day chaps!



Homburg week continues for me... almost black navy Chapeau Richelieu Beaver Blend.

Wow, Alan! I know this is repetitive, but once again I must express my amazement at your hat-collecting and photography skills. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Our son is flying back to the UK tonight so we are at Logan Airport waiting for his plane to taxi by.

This is our favorite plane-watching spot at the airport - rocking chairs and Dunkin's coffee!

You're wearing a Homburg so you MUST be a banker. But you're in jeans........I guess a casual banker.

SWEET looking Adam Homburg. I'm so used to the grey ones and the occasional black one. The light brown is pretty neat.

This may be too far afield for this thread. I was wandering around my office looking for a spot to take a picture of the hat of the day when I stumbled on this. I hadn't stopped to look at it for a long time.

There is a hat.

It is meant to be carried rather than worn. Here is what I wore when I carried this hat:

It's completely assembled from paper - greeting cards, actually - mounted to a muslin pattern. My wife designed it and built it with the help of her costume shop staff at the University of Buffalo.

I tried the wig on today.

I wore it in a fashion show at our industry awards in NYC some years ago... 2005 I think.

and I wore it on a TV show the next morning:

I wonder if I could still get into it?

SteveAS: Great pictures! Vintage cars and hats...both near and dear to my heart.

irb: Very nice! Akubras just look so right in the field. I like the unshaven look as well.

David: Love all of your tall crown hats, and this Black Cherry VS is no exception. Nice photo!

Alan, I meant Your Majesty: I love the entire ensemble! Very impressive and should be on display in a museum of art. Sheer brilliance, and oh, the Homburg is nice, too.
