What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Steve1857]

Thanks. After some steam and a brush the prior evening I was able to tweak the shape a little with a slightly tighter pinch in the front. Tried to get a diamond bash on top but it reverted back to a C-crown.



Thanks. The tie wasn't my first choice (skinny tie on a spread collar), but the grey accents paired well with the hat so I think it worked.

I've been passively looking at toppers myself. If I knew I'd look half as dapper as you I might actually spend a bit more time and effort looking.

Thanks [emoji4]
You should definitely spend some time looking for a top hat. No hat collection is complete without one or two [emoji6]

That's a nice straw, Bill. I particularly like the ribbon. Looks good on you.

I can't get enough of this Borsalino Homburg. It is 7 1/4, so I put it on a custom band block, steamed it, and reshaped the brim last night. It fits perfectly now. Saved some money by not taking it to Ignacio.

Today....continuing down the Homburg Way is another non-European, so it’s just gray with a black ribbon. Maybe 40’s i guess. Confusing Lot numbers but the felt is not confusing at all. Every bit as nice as it’s Vita-Felt cousin. I do so love an embroidered liner.
Be well. Bowen

Well, what can I say but well done to both of you?! Superb homburgs gentlemen!

Very nice, Jim. There's something about these Knox hats that just works.

Crofut & Knapp panama for some summertime fun!

Lovely hat, Randy. I hope the weather permits me to wear mine soon (or any other panama for that matter).

 

[steur]

Thanks Red.

Supposed to be very summer like here today. And it's starting out that way with a T-storm. Looks like the bulk of it is slipping by just southwest of me, and by just I mean about 20 blocks. Melvin Panama before the rains started.

That would be a good incentive to go to college (if you would need one). Nice!

Thanks, Greg. I've become more accepting of the center dent over the past several months.





Always love seeing the University Club, Alan. One of my favorites of yours.

Centerdents and homburgs are where it's at; we're halfway there!

Gorgeous, Greg. Nice colour and the crease is outstanding.

Wearing this super antique silk topper for 5 minutes this evening just so I could show it off. Shameless misuse of FL rules of "what hat are you wearing today" I know, but I'm over the moon about this purchase I picked up today. [emoji4]

Wow, Steve. That is some hat. I understand you need to start with small doses of it...

There, now don't you feel better? That Nembo is really interesting.

I got a paralegal position with Oregon Dept of Justice. Driving to Salem every day now.

I sure hope your back issues improve, Mike.

That is great! I'm going in for cortisone (steroid of some sort) shots at 6:00am Friday. Should have some relief finally. Now you are closer for a lunch!

 

[Redfokker]

Thanks Mike. And I wanted to tell you that when it comes to pain management, sometimes you just have to ignore the doctors & take advice from the squirrels.

If they do it under X-ray you can lay there & watch the cortisone go in on the monitor. Been there...done that.

Stetson Gun Club for awhile this morning.

It was immediate relief! Two of my top ten hats so that does count for something. But good advice; thanks doc!

Stefan, Thank you!
