What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

Garrett -- beautiful Barbisio. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
Can you describe the felt on that one, compared to some of your other lids?

Cheers,
JtL

The felt has a very fine velour finish - almost the texture of suede. It compares favorably with the other-than-standard finishes on my vintage hats.

Rabbit felt Porkpie. This hat brings the rowdiness out in me. I really need to control myself with this hat.

Ernest, I have to say you wear your hats with panache.
Very well done, I cant wait till you start wearing a wider brim.
And you will..... and it will look super!

Thank you sir! I am looking at getting a Jaxon pinch crown with a 2 1/2 inch brim from Village Hat Shop. That would be the widest brim I would own.

Jaxon Detroit in black. I had to teach today and while walking to class it held up well in the 30 mph blowing snow.

You guys busted out the big guns today! If your heads know the difference I'm sure they're all smiling...

HPG - Great hat and dig the braces; Mr. P - I like the new Champ and especially the color and bow; Garrett - incredible (understatement) hat; Jimmy - Like Indy said the binding sets that one off so well; Deputy - Love the ribbon against the color of the felt; Lloyd - That hat belongs outdoors in Big Sur (and also in the Green Machine thread!); Ernest - You are a sharp dressed man. :eusa_clap

It was a 2 hat day

This morning, I ran some errands wearing my Campdraft, but this afternoon/evening while out looking at wildlife at a local park, I wore my Federation.

I didn't know this was being taken. :eusa_doh: I look chunky in this photo for some reason. haha

1920's Dunn & Co Homburg

So now I wear Homburgs, bowlers, fedoras( always in a medium bluish gray LOL), and of course my favorite silk plush or beaver top hats.

Nice Homburg!
I've all but convinced myself that with a thin face I can't pull off a Homburg, but your picture shows that with the RIGHT Homburg it can be done well. What brim width is that, if you don't mind?

 

[metropd]

Thanks guys. The Brim is 2 1/2 inches. I went to a fashion expo and all the homburgs from the 1920's suited me much better than those from the later eras. I have settled that 2 1/2 inches is the best brim width for me, on fedoras and homburgs.

Hi Metro, you have been gone from Hats for a while. Good to see you back; great look with that homburg and a nice pic to boot!
