Seems to be a big day for homburgs here today. I picked this Golden Pheasant out this morning, but then had to go for my weekly grocery shop before getting the photos up.

It was a sunny, breezy 13 degrees when I took these. Note the pained expression.

Have a great Thursday,

You're looking rather Sherlockian there Michael. Great cape!

Today my Dusty sage Lee silver label Homburg is a frosty sage in the single digits Fahrenheit this morning. Regardless, I am appreciating the bright sunlight!

Thanks. The brown is a luscious colored felt. Deep and rich and almost wants you to reach out and touch it. I think it looks like a homemade hot dark chocolate milk. As much as I like them I still find myself reaching for other hats more easily. The more formal to my eye and perhaps my learned bias has me shying away from them when I go about daily adventures. This old dog needs to learn new tricks and change my learned patterns. I may ask my wife to toss me a short balding guy treat when ever she sees me wearing a homburg. Operant training works - I learned it in school and reafirmed it on the Bog Band Theory when Sheldon trained Penny with chocolates.

I admire the classy look it gives when you and other loungers wear the homburgs.

Cheers.
It's good to see you "homburging" both yesterday and today.

It took me a long time to get comfortable with homburgs for wear with anything other than coat and tie. And I thought that it would be some kind of unforgivable faux pas to pinch the front or mess around with the traditional crease. It's cool to see so many Loungers (yourself included) who do both of those things and wear them with casual attire nowadays. To me, the results look great.

I hope that you can get Mrs. Short Balding Guy to help you remember to bring them out more often. Your homburgs are invariably fantastic and you wear them very well.

Enjoy.

This is a very classic "homburg" in proportions with ribbon and finishes on the brim that match the color of the felt

Yesterday was New Hat Day, as I took delivery on a recent eBay win.

So far this morning we have a Dobbs Fifteen and a Resistol Twenty-five. I'm coming in with the low bid in this Mallory Ten. The auction photos weren't the best, and I prayed it would clean up nice, but what I received yesterday was beyond what I expected. Fantastic (and very pettable) felt, an interesting dark gray color, sharksgill bow, wind trolley, felt and sweat in great condition, what more can a guy ask for?

Gave it a good steaming and brushing before work and put a quick diamond in it.

Man, I love the smell of steamed vintage felt in the morning!

GILLS!!

Cool edge treatment. The binding is wider on the bottom than the top, resulting in this bound and stitched top edge.

I'll take better shots when I can for the Mallory thread. It was dark when I got home from work last night, and dark when I got in this morning, so I haven't even seen it in natural light yet.

I wish everybody a Youthfully Smart Thursday!


Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Great score, Jim. Looks good on you.
