Outstanding Anthony!
30s era Stetson No.1 Quality today
Been under the weather the last couple of days. Must be the warm-up that's got me down.
Speaking of "weather"... This Weather Hat Company "Pikes Peak" homburg made by the late Art Henderson (I reckon in the '60s) in Colorado Springs, CO was on my doorstep this afternoon. It's great piece of work.
I purchased the hat in an auction last March. I was a bit nervous about wearing the bold color and it had some condition issues, including what appeared to be dried glue spots on the brim that I couldn't do anything with. I sent the hat out to Bob at Black Sheep. He cleaned up the glue pretty darned well and gave it fresh trim and insides.
I am not dispeased with the results.
Now... Got some pages of hats to catch up on.
Enjoy.
HaHaHa...That's certainly a statement hat.
Hope you're feeling better. I was getting ready to send out a search party.

Thanks DM. The days are beautiful, but complete out of season as warm days in springtimeBeautiful hat,for what looks like a beautiful day.Enjoy both.
Thanks SR. You have to praise Borsalino old workers for the ability to put together colorsThat subtle ribbon-to-felt color variance is killer.
Thanks Richard. The type of this felt is the "ancient" Borsalino peachy touch, even now they have it, but not so often like in the ancient daysDaniele that is a beautiful hat. The felt just makes me want to reach through the computer screen and touch it.
Thanks Stefan, I try to do my best, but it is not easy.You treat us to what seems an endless parade of fabulous hats, Daniele! Please don't stop.
A pomegranate color homburg is rare!Been under the weather the last couple of days. Must be the warm-up that's got me down.

Statement: "Look! That guy's a jackass!"
I was also thinking along the lines of pimp hat. Now... Gotta find a groovy cane and coat to go with it.
Thanks for the "feel better" wishes. Happily, I seem to be about back to abnormal.
Have fun.

Saban thought the same way. I thought the way the seam was joined might become annoying. You never really notice it.The best defense is a good offense.
I love the way they joined the seam on that sweatband.

LOL!
Tide done rolled.
Congrats! And nice hat. Hope it still fits when your head is splitting...
