Homburg Nation
IIRC, that liner means pre-1946. FWIW, I have a post '46 hat and it's of astoundingly good quality. But $245 for a hat the seller thinks is from 1970??? Can you make an offer? I know it's harder to find a 7-5/8, but.... well, it looks like a great Homburg but I'd like it better at $150 - $170 -
STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH
I noticed that, too, after cleaning my hat. I applied the Lexol to the threads as much as possible, as well as the leather sweat. I should have applied the Lexol before the cleaning, too. My sweat was really dry after the naptha bath. -

STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH
Here are some pics post naptha/white gas cleaning. There was indeed some dirt and other junk in the bottom of my bucket this time, but I'm not sure the extra step was really needed because I had already done a bunch with the white vinegar. Another way to look at it would be to say I should... -

Off to the post office. Mornings here are typically cool, but we're looking at 95F again today. I wore the modern Stratoliner Milan to the post office. I've decided there are straw hats meant for cooler sunny days, and straw hats meant for hotter sunny days. IMO, the Milan and tight weave... -

Post New Hats Here!
This Royal Stetson came in today. I'll get better pics tomorrow when it cools down a little. Sellers often claim a hat is perfect, excellent, mint, never worn, etc. I believe the seller on this one, which was listed as being wool felt. The Royal Stetson designation precludes that possibility... -

Fabulous, Ant. You know when Bob posted those hats and said something about them being too small, and maybe they'd become his wife's hats, I thought, "no way, Moon and other FL's will want those!" I think that hat is at home with you, brother. @BobHufford is a gentleman and a scholar! -

STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH
Here are some pics of my Champ, Before and After, having only used distilled white vinegar, applied liberally, with a toothbrush... after drying I brushed the hat with a hat sponge and a horsehair hat brush... the dried vinegar does leave edge spotting when it dries, just like a spot remover...
