Hey folks!
The only problem with this 1928 Dobbs Homburg is that I always feel like I should be doing something more important than whatever I'm doing while wearing it.

But that doesn't seem like that big of a problem to me.:)
Have a great day!

You have OUTDONE yourself yet again, Moe!!! Fabulous, FABULOUS Hommy, but your assessment of how you feel when wearing it is just classic. Again, you have outdone yourself!!!!

Get something about cigar sized and light it with a hundred dollar bill. Then sit back and contemplate the power of hats.

Thanks, hatsRme! I love this 'burg, just (mistakenly) think I need a reason to break it out.
I actually do have something important to do in this hat today. Just remembered it's an old friend's birthday and I'm taking her a cupcake a bit later.:)

Not a very good picture, but I'm wearing the Gala Forest Scotland made deerstalker to go look for the mushrooms.

And as it seems the site was down or something, I'm back already with one large hen of the woods (Grifola frondosa) in tow. Oops, seems it's still having problems. Is it back? Yesterday's hat pick by now.

Hey all!
Glad to see survivors of the Great TFL Outage of 2016!
Today, hot weather so hot weather gear. A Panama I made from a hat body found at a thrift store. Jamaican shirt. Linen pants not pictured, but necessary.

Yesterday, a freshly made over Vanzina Pavia. At first, the chain style felt belt trim looked cool, but after a while it started to distract from the rest of the hat till that was all I saw when I looked at it. Plus, the liner tip was stitched to the top of the crown, so most every crease I tried on it wss puckered and lumpy looking from the stitches. So, off came the feltbelt, out came the liner, a reblock, restitched the liner leaving the tip floating (but secured to the felt with a piece of two-sided tape in the middle of the liner logo) and a new ribbon. I went with a dark brown because I like the grey/brown combo on tge Game Bird. Here it is!

It's like a brand new hat! I like this look way better.
Glad to be back!
Have a great day! :)

I saw this hat advertised in an email I got from Village Hats the other day and decided to try it out. Email advertisements never entice me to make a purchase, but for some reason this one did.

I had been looking for a lighter brown hat to go with my new medium blue suit, and when I saw this hat it "spoke" to me. Maybe it was the fact it was under $40 that got my attention, or that it was a "crushable wool" that I could use as an "outdoors hat" in the event it didn't work as a dress hat. I'm not sure what exactly convinced me, bit I'm glad I ordered one.

It's not a vintage Dobbs or a custom made VS, bit it's not a bad hat for the money.
