Small trip today for the annual car service and this vintage royal stetson homburg came with me. I don't wear homburgs often enough, maybe I should? View attachment 182600
I love grey, all variations, with blue, beige/tan or brown undertones, but the green undertones on this one speak to me ! View attachment 182601

Have a nice Friday,
Panos
You should wear Homburgs more. You wear them well.

Switched to the Stetson Medalist for a lunch date with the wife.

I too, have a honey.
She goes by Vicki, but I think of her as Celeste.

She chose the Stetson.

He's a girl, and all I got was a new toothbrush and some floss. And they called me in before I found everything in the Hidden Picture puzzle.



Hey, at least I don't look up and see Max. He'd anesthetize me and steal my hat!
I never dreamed of the puzzle.

A homburg is a particular style constructed to present with the brim curled upwards, similar to but less defined than the d'orsay curl of the derby/bowler.

Most fedoras can be worn with the brim up all around or snapped down in the front. I am partial to wearing many hats with the brim up - others prefer a downward swoop.

A pencil rolled brim is something else - a tight roll of a raw brim edge, usually seen on a western hat.

Hope the pictures help!
I wish I had your panache, Alan.

There are lots of hats that occupy the in between realm. Some meet all the points in the accepted definition, but still just feel and look like something different. I too like those that are a bit odd. Yours is a beautiful hat.

I like how you think, Brent. You make points that would never occur to me.
