I don't always enjoy the look of a bowler ... takes a certain face ... a certain attitude to look right for me

you sir have that very look

A+

Looks great on you.

Thanks so much, my wife is still on the fence about this look.

Thanks Moon! I am trying to develop a hat "attitude", be fearless. I wear these hats more as an homage to the history than a fashion statement.

as do I ... it's hard for me to look good in anything let a lone make a "fashion statement" ... hahahaha

your attitude screams through my screen in that bowler ...

those hats are hard to make look not forced to me ... looks very natural on you

I really like how it gets some baby blue tones. The brim is special. Ever considered a slight pinch, making it kind of a Lord's Hat?

Thanks Red.

Yeah... the blue tones are just marvelous. Makes me think that some folks who work with dye must be absolute geniuses, magicians or some mixture of the two. Beautiful artistry.

This one resists a pinch. It just won't quite accept it for long. I'm a big fan of casualizing (not sure if that is a word) the homburg, so I pinch most of mine at some times. Guess this one is just too full of itself to stoop so low (it is Imperial after all).

Another neat thing... Alan has its twin. Shots of it are lurking around here somewhere.

Enjoy.

Cool (mid-60's) and sunny today.

Black Biltmore thin ribbon, from that last sale of Canadian made hats.

Cheers!

Looks great Red! Buy more!

I loves me some derbies! The D'Orsay curl is just one of the coolest fashion innovations in history. A beautiful and elegant thing...

With thanks to Brad... This is fun: http://thehattedprofessor.bowershats.com/2010_07_01_archive.html?m=1

Hey everyone!
Last night was one of those nights where there was nothing good on, I was caught up on my recordings, and just didn't feel like Netflixing into oblivion. So, (pun intended) I decided to upgrade my Parabuntal with a new perforated sweatband that I recently bought for this very purpose. The cotton twill tape I had originally put in it just never really felt right. Threw on a pug, but I may put the ribbon and bow back later. The sun just happened to come out in time to enjoy it for a while. Hope it lasts!

Not my best seam joint, but it works.
Have a great day!

Sent from thin air using electricity and other wizardry.

Nice work, Moe. Wish I had the gumption to mess around with some of my lids to get them just exactly perfecter. I admire your undaunted creativity.

Thanks so much, my wife is still on the fence about this look.

Wear it confidently and she'll likely come around (I hope). Though I've got a few that despite repeated tries, Becca just can't adjust to.

Frankly, my hat's off to both her and my son Gabe. The hat weirdness they put up with from me must be insufferable.

 

[Bob Roberts]

Wow! Crazy beautiful color! Almost a "Rose" tone. Or an under ripe black cherry?

Thanks. Not to get into the wine thing again but Guerra called the color "Bordeaux."
Ps. The Derby/Bowler looks really good on you.

Very nice homburg sir. Homburg Sundays? Or is that sundaes?

Michael

Thanks, Michael.

Nowadays... They are all sundaes. But lots of Sundays behind me.

I wore the dark navy Disney to church today and got compliments. Switched to the brown Penneys Marathon this afternoon to drive my daughter home.
Y'all are posting some grand hats lately!

Super cold today. Royal Biltmore for me.

Loved the FL post versions of this, had not searched for the actual page. The Cav edge study is also a must read!

Sounds like there have been a bunch of EPIC hats that made it to church today! I'm sure you looked dignified.
