Wow-ZA, Michael! You look very excited this morning, (sort of) and I can see why! That "Poor ol' Portis" is properly perfect, Pal. How old do you think it is?!
Ha ha, beyond excited. I'm totally clueless when it comes to dating hats. Women too, but that's a story for another time. All I can tell you is that it's 4 1/2" tall with the deepish bash, has a 2 1/8" brim, 2 1/8" unreeded sweat and says Portis Club Quality Typically American Swansback Finish. I don't remember if I have any photos of the interior, but I'll take some when the light is good.

With all of the recent posts I figured it was time to pay homage to the homburg. The dense felt on this old Dobbs helps keep my noggin warm this morning. Thanks to ofcoursemyhorse for allowing me to purchase it from him.

I love this Homburg! This is exactly the hat that I'm coveting and searching for at present. I salute you!

Me? I'm scanning the channels for Hogan's Heros reruns.

I like the Portis, it has some real character! Let's all give it some love! Great outfit as usual, love the pants!
