All in green for some St. Patrick's Day shenanigans in an Adam Homburg.

Have a good and safe one folks.

New life for this abused and neglected Borsalino. This is another one that I restored. Reblocked, resized (7 1/4), and restyled from whatever it was before. It was all crushed up when I got it and there was nothing on it except a dried out tattered Borsa sweat. It now sports a 2 5/8 snap brim and a taller crown that's creased to a Teardrop with an 1 1/2 wide Burgundy ribbon.

Your skills are amazing, Terry. That's not a restoration, that's a complete freaking resurrection from beyond the grave. Well done, sir!!!

Maroon Blazer And silvergreybtrousers2 001.JPG

My original hat choice was a dark grey Sovereign but at Tina's suggestion I changed it for the silver/grey bespoke Gamble & Gunn. It certainly tops off the blazer perfectly, and it compliments the trousers that the lady made.
Tina discovered the blazer at a traders stall at a festival a few years back. She thinks that it might have been made to measure to hide a large expanse. She took all the panels apart, waved her wand over it and, hey presto, it fits.

Sartorial elegance, as always, Robert.
