To Tilt or Not to Tilt...That is the Question!
Would say personal preference, many various ins-and-outs with fashion and styles over the decades, nay centuries. Personally I tilt only at times when wearing my smoking cap, fez, Glengarry Cap, boater or my trilbowler I don't tilt my: Topper, Bowler, Pith, Trilby Panama, Optimo Panama... -
Perhaps a silly question: Ladies' hats indoors?
Yes can be indoors though traditionally only "Formal" hats would be worn by ladies indoors. Unless you were "downstairs" when said people would wear a bonnet as chambermaids e.t.c. Wearing a hat was inside was normally a requirement of downstairs or other working classes as they needed... -
Custom Topper?
Are you 7&1/8 UK or US. If US7&1/8 then have a very nice 6&1/4 crown with very famboyant bell curve and beautiful saddle brim that is right up your street. Don't have 6&1/2 right now. Those firms are a couple of different dealers :o My website is on my Profile. Pip-pip Doug -

Custom Topper?
'tis a shame as a vendor I cannot recommend myself :rolleyes: -
Custom Topper?
Most modern "silk looking" hats are made from "Melusine" fine fur felt, gives a sheen similar to silk plush, but if you compare it with a real one then there is no comparison. Real silk wins no questions asked. There are a number of other "silk" type plushes available, most with a rayon pile... -
Hot Weather Hats

Hot Weather Hats
Actually I would go a Bombay Bowler Pith over a standard Trilby/ Fedora Panama, if you requirement is to protect the back of you head and neck. The Panama I may consider would be a wide brimmed plantation style. Which would be good but I still like pith as a light weight ( thoughmore heavy... -
Trilbowler
Will get full dimensions later. I don' use the word stingy myself. As this is a based on the trilby rather than fedora ( the difference being that a fedora has a wider brim ) . Fedora wearers, such as your goodselves may like a larger brim, but for trilbys this is well withing standard size... -

Trilbowler
Top hat only goes with tail coats ( i.e. Morning Dress or White Tie) , not black tie jacket. Neither does the standard bowler go with Black Tie , as bowler is normal Day/city wear or riding wear. But the Formal Cambridge Bowler can be used. This style brings it out as rigid shell for semi... -
Trilbowler
Can do most styles, merely an adaption of the crown. Without side dents would be a more Homburg style crown, hence what i would call a "Hombowler" :D With the tighter pinch is just as easy just a different block to do it on. Though I prefer a thicker pince for formal style myself. The... -
Trilbowler
Thanks, There may have been similar designs in history, though the name Trilbowler is I believe unique to me! :) I am pushing it (the black version) as a new "semi-formal" wear for Black-Tie events. The Homburg or the Cambridge bowler were the only hats in history, apart from the... -
Trilbowler
1st run of the New "Trilbowler" ( pronounced Trill -be- ola) Me ( minus the Goatee!) _ I know, I know, I think I must Grow it back! Crown: Front: Left: Right: Back: So the front looks similar to a fedora/trilby crown as one walks towards, but when i walk... -
Is this possible...?
Where you willl come unstuck is the brim. Homburgs have a brim that is usually uniform all around. Bowlers/Toppers have different curls, and more flattened brim edge, hence it no longer will be a bolwer or a Homburg. I have made a Trilbowler (pronounced Tril-b-ola) which is ineffect a trilby... -

Where the bowler lives on.
No difference, mearly the Contex of being used - One can feel Jaunty riding a Horse with or without a bowler. How Januty one is, could be greatened by the thrill of the hat, but also in addition being on the horse or / horse & carriage. So is it the hat or the horse that is making one... -

Jaunty.... Depends on how fast you are riding on the horse and if going up and down in the saddle lol -
Where the bowler lives on.
Hehe such are the fun things in life .... Where I live it is Ascot ( hence my Compay: Ascot Top Hats Ltd) if one is in attendance of Royal Ascot, remember to pronounce it correctly as "Ass-kut" , and not as most people pronounce it "Ass-cot". -

Spinach ?? :( Confused - Over here a gentleman uses an umbrella for hailing a Cabbie, when it starts raining, so it never needs to be unfurled :D
