What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[alanfgag]

Mario, that is fierce.

That's a great one. Is it a homburg? If so, it's the only homburg I've seen that I would actually wear.

Not a traditional ribbon edged curled brim homburg. It's not clear how this hat started out life. The brim has a mode edge and came to me with a definite upward styling. With a center dent in the crown it looks much like a homburg, with a fedora crease, it takes on a different attitude. Dinerman wore a similar hat recently.

cheers Neo, and yea its a Akubra fed IV, the brims 70mm. I have a slim face so it does tend to look larger than it would on others. i tend to favor the wider brim, i think they suit me alot better, all about feeling comfortable right?

I'm a Fed IV owner and fan. That hat looks great on you. New, too.

really nice, rodkins and scotrace!
I've been so envious of everyone's Open Roads and clones with teardrop creases, so instead of buying a silverbelly Akubra CD (why? you may ask) I thought I'd try and do a teardrop out of my fawn colored Stetson 25 OR. This one had been sporting a low rectangular telescope with downturned brim. Here's the new work.

I think I'll wear it more now, and perhaps I can restrain myself from a new CD purchase for awhile...

Thanks fellas! My coworker is still pressuring me to get a fresh new open crowned campdraft (he only wears akubras), but it's just going to have to wait!

[alanfgag]
