Just the beater Resistol again today. Good throw around hat; it's a little big and I've been meaning to reblock it. Maybe I'll get 'round to it one of these days...My friends all say the hat's too tall, but I like it.

 

[scottyrocks]

It might be a bit too tall for its taper, but I like it.

It might be a bit too tall for its taper, but I like it.

I'm guessing that's a c-crown. Recreasing the crown into a diamond will take some of the perceived taper out. It's worth a shot.

Well Mr. Paladin, no Fed on my head today. It was my Akubra Homburg. It was your pics in the Homburg Nation thread that got me thinking of a Homburg. But, I just don't look as happy as you always do in your pics. But I am indeed in my Happy Place wearing that hat

Thanks HPG, Chinaski, BobC, and JtL for your kind comments. Too kind to take the time to post.

Gene...maybe I don't follow or stay in the lines with Crayons (Today: Homburg, John's Flying Tiger shirt, jeans, and SPAM flip flops), but you gents are the bomb. All hats on you hat cats posted since I stopped in last just get better. And, I'm not drinking nor is close to closing time

BobC...I keep thinking about a Campdraft but not certain about the thin ribbon. BUT, then again, felt the same about Homburgs and bound edges until I got them on my noggin. I'm soooo easy.

Goose...that homburg looks great on you! I'd like to see Akubra's derby also! :eusa_clap

Today was VS Panama.

 

[Aureliano]

Borsalino Panama...

Today I wore my Borsalino. Got it in Milano and came with that beautiful pin and the (functional) wind trolley.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

For an interment at the National Cemetery in Dallas, today, this very versatile Borsalino.

GRRRREAT straws and felts, gentlemen!

Rain is heading into the third day here. Wore a beater Stetson Royal DeLuxe for my out-and-about earlier.

 

[jimmy the lid]

Is that a tableau of the Rocky Mountains on that ribbon...?

HA HA! Know what you mean jelly bean...I didn't have it dented too well. The top of that lid is soft as any Akubra. Brim, stiff enough to be a gnome diving board.
In fact, right after the pic, someone commented that they liked my derby That resulted in an instant flip off the noggin for a dent check.
Was definitely in need of some Homburger helper. Still had some dent in it, but reality being that Steve doesn't know a Homburg from a iceberg (not a slight on him...most peeps just aren't familar with the nomenclature).

Have popped it out. And guess what? Instant derby. It's two. Two. Two hats in one.

I need to do a gig line check (Marines and others may know what I mean) from time to time with that hat. Or hit it with some starch
Love my Homburg.

Anyway...thanks CJ

JtL...having a nice hat like that may just get me closer to joining the Thin Ribbon coalition. Step at a time. How wide is that ribbon anyway? Curious.
Alucard73...if I ever wore suspenders, that's the look I would go for...SHARP!
J.T. and Aureliano, just two more reasons I should be telling myself to eat more $1 Double Cheeseburgers at Mickey D's so I can save my lunch money for a Borsalino. Seriously, I've been thinking about getting one for a few months now...pushing me over the edge! Maybe one with a thin ribbon. Kill two birds with one stone.

Drum roll please....HARP PLAYER GENE...now THAT is a hat!!! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Gene, Love that ribbon, honest! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[bakers44]

Now that's a great hat! Wish I had one just like it!:eusa_clap

No, but I do have rocks in my head!

Thanks all, for the friendly reception to this old workhorse of a hat. All the sweat-ins while doing remodeling and repair work on houses has made this hat fit like a custom on my knotty noggin'.

Hey, Goose, I never met a man that didn't like a Campdraft. I have four of them now plus one for Mrs. C. You can dress them up or dress them down. I love 'em. My collection of thin ribbons is growing almost as fast as RBH's.

It was supposed to be a high of 70 today so I opted for felt.

This is a soft felt fedora which says it was made by Keens in Britain for Halle Brothers Co, a Cleveland, Ohio, Department Store. This hat was purchased on ebay for $15.50. I like the feel and fit and thought I got a bargain.

I've paged back several times to look at this hat again, GHM. I really like it. How about a noggin shot?
