Thanks Terry.

It's kind of you to say, but man o' man...
there be a lot of fantastic, enthusiastic regular homburglers
on the Lounge nowadays.

Very different from a couple of years ago...
AND IT'S GREAT!!!!

Me a king???
I think not...

I am but a vassal in the empire benevolently ruled over by
@Daniele Tanto , @mayserwegener

There's a Lounger, Manfred, who wore a Homburg once with casual attire and a brown leather bomber jacket. I was surprised at how casual and versatile they can be.

Matt, I've always taken the position that you should have at least as many Well days as Sick days.

Great Vita-Burg.

Off to a meeting in the Dalton Waverly

What a great hat, Steve, very nice from my Capital vienna

At one of the schools where I teach, today is Fashion Friday. So I decided to dress to the nines. The Fedora is a 1941 Borsalino, the suit is a Magnoli custom 1930's era, italian wingtip short boots, gold and ruby tie pin, and even Boker pocket knife from the mid forties.

Great hat and great suit from Magnoli Clothes. I am thinking to buy the Dillinger´s suit from Magnoli

Your European hat dyes are killing me.
Bob, European felts in their texture, color and finish are different from those normally used in the United States.
Normally they are not made of beaver, but mostly mixtures of different furs because, before the advent of modern chemical colors, the mixture of furs used gave the base color from which then proceeded to the final coloration.
The most difficult color to get was the "true" black.
Then the advent of chemical colors has totally changed the parameters.
Also finishing of felt, which is not only pounced, is essential for the color and its variations and gradations of shades.
Maybe with some time I will translate some more information on what is reported above.

Yeah...

When I first started wearing them a few years ago, it never occurred to me that they could be successfully (whatever the heck that means...) worn outside of the "coat and tie" formality with which they are usually represented in classic films.

I think that the casual use of the homburg is kind of like the mirror image to the formal use of the cowboy hat in the American Southwest. Folks wear those with suits all of the time.

The "norm" for both hat styles (maybe all hat styles) can be broadened to fit additional cultural contexts. It just takes folks to give it a shot. Of course, I suspect that the same really could be said for any "fashion".

I think I am thinking way too much about this. I need a lobotomy...[emoji12]

Wearing the Stetson No.1 that Michael R. gifted me. Since I was going western I also wore cowboy boots. It was too windy to do Bama's hat on leg shot so I went this way. Can anyone recommend a good chiropractor?
