WOW-ZA, MiamiB! I don't recall seeing that one. Fantastic!

 

[hatophile]

Great Borsa Charlie.
Bruno, that is a humdinger.
I really like these new Strats, so much that I have one in Cornhill ordered.

Hatguy1 - I need a wine-tasting hat (and a beer sampling hat) Looks like you're enjoying yourself.

David - Nice Penman. We might not have the choice of mass-produced hats people once had, but we're blessed with some fine custom hat makers.

Rick - I'll forgive the ball-cap in honour of the occasion How did he do?

Sorry for the late response, Richard. Well, we went 2-0 on Saturday and 2-1 Sunday, losing in the championship game after going into the last inning with a 6-3 lead. Not bad in the grand scheme of 13 year old baseball and it being the first tournament of the season. My son is a catcher and threw two runners out trying to steal second base and had a pretty decent tournament at the plate, hitting a double in his last at bat Sunday. Too bad the weather was so dreadful Sunday, as it the temps were in the low 40s with a 30 mph wind out of the north. It was terrible baseball weather!

David - sweet little black number

Perry - very nice colour

Charlie - great looking thin ribbon, and you wear the wider brims as well as the stingies.

Miami - I don't recall seeing that one before - sweet longhair

Sam - that CRM is beautiful.

Alan - very nice Homburg. Is the Acer trained as a bonsai? I'm dabbling again after taking a long break.

Richard - the Miller looks good. I'm frequently padding or stretching hats being an inbetweener.

Rick - thanks for getting back to me - doesn't sound like a bad run from my limited knowledge.

Sam, sweet Sand.
Alan, what a great hommie!
Dapper Gray hat Ingineer, love the pullover too.

Akubra Homburg:

 

[hatophile]

Sharp Richard. I like the way you have that one styled.

 

[ManofKent]

Thanks Perry - the brim is as is - I just added a simple centre crease and a fairly tight pinch/dents

 

[Banky]

Looks good Richard. I like how they have that one styled. Not really something I could pull off well as I go for the more laid back styles that I can wear with my more relaxed wardrobe. But you look great in it.

 

[alanfgag]

Alan - very nice Homburg. Is the Acer trained as a bonsai? I'm dabbling again after taking a long break.

Yes it is. Not a showpiece, but I've managed to keep it alive for twenty years or so. I winter it in the basement by a window and it always insists on budding and leafing while I am still in winter hibernation. Someday I am going to catch it and prune it at the right time.

MiamiB, I am a huge fan of that longhair! Is is new to you?

Sam, the CRM suits you to a tee. Great color!

Alan, beauty of a Homburg, as per usual.

Ingineer, sweet Miller. Looks great on you!

Richard, you pull of that Homburg well, my friend. Love the pinch!

Richard, that Akubra is a real cool looking Homburg. You wear it well buddy!
Harv, Nice Kevin McAndrew buddy. I like that!

On this cold and breezy afternoon from Central Ohio, I have no comment other than, It's Black. I hate it. But my son is going to love it. I converted this one for my son's birthday gift. I had planned on selling this to a fellow Lounger if my son didn't want it, but he wanted a Black fedora. This is another Resistol Stagecoach. I reblocked the crown, added a Khaki colored mid-ribbon, and cut the brim to 2 7/8. I feel bad about cutting it down though. Although it turned out pretty nice....(I have a little more touching up to do around the brim. I was too tired to mess with it any more today).

 

[Banky]

Harv buddy can't tell you how happy I am you rock that thing with some regularity. It spent a good year packed away in my closet.

Reggie, it is one of my favs. Fits like a glove, and I like that it's not perfect. Makes a great day to day hat. Thanks a million!

Terry, my friend, you have the hat conversion thing down pat. I don't like black hats either, but nice pick with the khaki ribbon. It really sets it off. Love the crown job, too. Never feel bad cutting down a brim. 2 7/8 works on that one, buddy!
