v vendetta hat
Not just common language old chap, also the dreaded taxman. :eusa_doh: The price above is reasonable for a bespoke hat, but as i only wish it for a masked ball. It is a bit high, by the time it arrives into UK , I will probably be hit with another $80-$100 import taxes. :rage: -
v vendetta hat
Yep, dont like the official cheap replicas. I found one supplier but costs $270 -$360 for wool felt or fur felt options. For that price may just make my own. -

TIME says JFK Killed The Hat
Actually this debate has been going on for centuries. I remember an article in my research either in the Hatters Gazzette or The Times i think, form about 1880-1890ies mentioning the decline of hats. I would not be surprised if there was also articles from the 1700ies about the same decline. -

The snap brim homburg
Felt top hats are following forms wool felt = (typically used for hire/rental hats) - mottled look, black grey most common, also available is blue fur felt = a fine fur felt - typically in grey ( used for Royal Ascot, though many decades ago that actually has Grey Silk Plush Top hats for... -
The snap brim homburg
Not cheating at all old chap - perfectly acceptable. The opera hat was made for the purpose of small storage space at the opera - though profided worn with white tie ( cant be work with anything else, and as white tie is an evening event) then using it when travelling is a perfect reason. -
The snap brim homburg
Yes, but the primary identification is the is the crown. The classic Homburg is a combination of both the single straight crease and the curled brim all around. -
The snap brim homburg
Agree, the text is a bit misleading hence why question the book's accurate. Though at the same time, i don't disbelieve that it was a proper hat, and soem people may have called it a homburg, though from a purest view I would not call it that - Unless only had one straight crease. Can... -
The snap brim homburg
There's nothing wrong with palying with shapes - I do it myself with my Trilbowler! But the "crown" shape denominates the type of the hat, if you change the crown shape and re-block it into another style of hat , then the hat IS that new type. Brims on the other hand can be styled in many... -

The snap brim homburg
So more accurate description is: Ferdora with a snaped pencil curl brim. -
The snap brim homburg
The classic homburg is only blocked with a single crease on the top of the crown. This picture has side indentations, more like a trilby or fedora. -
The snap brim homburg
This is not a "Snapped Brimmed Homburg". The Crown is incorrectly formed. You can "snap" the brim of a homburg, though the crown would be the same. Also note the Text it is not in capitals or quotes - as per othe hat descriptions, hence the book is not referrring to it merely a... -
Straw...top hat?
Straw was commonly used as a materialy to make top hats in more temperate climates during the 19th century and also later. I can still get modern versions made. -

Wool felt it the granddaddy of hats , been used for thousands of years. Tall hats (as they were called before top hats) were probably first made of wool, then fur. Beaver being most sort after, though rabbit was most common. Most "beaver hat" as the general populus call them are in... -

Thanks you my good man. I think may curl the brim up slightly more. It looks better in real life , but in photo the look a tad flat. Pip-pip Must dash.
