HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOMBURG!
Now that you told me that Prince Wilhelm was the first person to wear a Homburg, I can safely say that I'll never willingly wear one.

The number one important item in shaving is water. You whip up lather with the brush and you get more water on your face...- marvelgoose

Post New Hats Here!
Vintage is great, but the hat guys need us to buy new ones from time to time, too! I bought one of the custom Stetson Chathams at Bencrafterhats.com. It is a standard Chatham with an extra wide brim - 2 3/4". Gives the hat a real 40's look. I would have never have found this if I had not...- marvelgoose
