^That^ is one good looking hat. Don't think I'd be willing to sacrifice my Dobbs Homburg to get a similar looking hat, though. I *will*, however, start looking for a Homburg with a messed-up edge binding in the hope of making a similar conversion.

Thanks. Lounge member Bond converted this one. Beautiful work.

Would you do the conversion yourself if the right hat came along? Sadly, I was born with all thumbs. I'd be terrified to try it myself.

Not a chance. I'd want it to look good enough to wear. There's plenty of lounge members who can do the work much more professionally than I can, and I'm happy to pay for their expertise. Your pic just got me thinking that the felt on my Dobbs Homburg is especially fine and would make a really nice fedora if converted. Hopefully I can find one with similar felt but with brim binding issues causing it to sell for a low price.

I can dream, right?
