Ha, I tend to plan mine, then change my mind in the morning anyway :) Is that you in your profile picture?


I knew so little about American hats before coming to this forum. Those Disneys really are beauties...


How nice! Does your daughter make other accessories/clothes for you too?


Yep, just what's needed in the weather we're having here. Winter's well and truly arrived!


Very happy to hear you're starting to feel better! And another great outfit :)


Another beauty, perfectly proportioned.


Do I spot people wearing short sleeves in the background?! And is that a tiny kangaroo on your hat?
Sure is! Few years back.

This is the first week of birthdays in January
The grandmother of my children Donatella, mother of Monica, came at age 78, and Davide, my son was born 22 years ago. Sunny and clear day like today, in 1995, much colder.
We celebrated with the menu chosen by our daughter Ginevra, a university student of Japanese in Venezia, offered us food from the distant East. White wine Lugana and pastries are strictly Italian:rolleyes:
The occasion of a day of celebration and less cold in recent weeks suggested I wear a French hat

A. France "foulard" homburg in medium brown

Homburg generously proportioned and of imposing appearance

Felt is very thin and is without lining

It is probably from the late forties

I want to thank you for the kind words and appreciation of these days

Enjoy the celebration time Daniele! Imposing is right, the crown on the Homburg is large and in charge! Very nice color and the brim curl is perfect!

Marvelous hat! "Imposing" is a great descriptor. Beautiful.

I gotta start blowing my money on vintage European homburgs. The diversity starting from the basic form is represented so much better than it seems to be here in the US.

Thanks for all of your homburgering and congratulations to all of the birthday folks.

Laughter at the expense of one of the most challenging years in my (and many other folks I know) life came in the mail yesterday. I is happy... View attachment 64931
Finally... In celebration of Thursday, a photo of myself in my true form... View attachment 64932

Hope that you each have great fun today.
You must be King Hommie. There should be a ceremony and everything. I still don't feel as comfortable wearing my Homburg, but I's sure as heck have lot easier time in that one! Incredible colors, incredible hat! PS: I didn't know you had shape shifter powers, too! You're a wizard!

Happy birthday to your mother in law and to your son - he looks a lot like you, but needs a slightly smaller sized hat maybe ;) Enjoy the celebrations & family time! Another beautiful homburg as well...
 
I will be wearing my Stetson Premier Stratoliner this afternoon when my wife and I go antiqueing.....
I just finished creasing the crown and working the brim this past week.......unlike my other Premier Strat, the brim did not have the usual kettle flange.....it really had no shape at all.....so I did some flat work and gave it a slight raise around with a bit more in the back. Very slight snap brim which gives it the look of one of the 50's 60's "Hunt Club" hats.
Cheers,
M
PS: the Strat pin is an original I picked up......
