Brisk cool clear day was perfect for this old black Miller Western

Thanks Phil!

So the Lord Kent takes the tight front pinch because it has a thin brim binding. Actually, I don't even know if it's considered a true homburg - maybe more of a curl-brim fedora?

You can see how thin the binding is in the photo of the Lord Kent. Of course that means that the pinch is happening on the non-bound felt, which you can’t do on a full-bound homburg.

This Dobbs that I showed a few days ago would be an excellent candidate for the tight front pinch, but I love him too much as he is, so I've never done it.

They all look great! And thank you for the pro-tips! Much appreciated.
