Homburg Nation
Beautiful, Manfred, a nice present to find under the Christmas tree! It appears to be of '50s vintage based upon what I can discern from the sweatband and liner crest. Very nice with the pinches added, Randall. Glad you are developing a real affinity for it, and I mean that sincerely. -

jbucklin: Glad you enjoyed the photos, and that they brought back some pleasant memories for you. The street in downtown Minneapolis to which you refer is Nicollet Avenue, better known as Nicollet Mall. Vibrant and energetic, with Saks, Neiman-Marcus, and Macy's anchoring a host of very nice... -

Arriving at our good friend(and fencing master) Ro Sobalvarro and his wife Kathy's lovely home on Summit Avenue in St. Paul to ring in the New Year. Heading for home after the party. It was very dark out, and the snow had begun to fall. As much as I dislike using flash in photos, I asked... -

We stopped by an antiques shop after lunch, and my pulse quickened as I was greeted with this sight at the top of the stairs. Antique stuffed cat for sale? This lid caught my eye, a very nice "Aqua-Pruf" Homburg by Campbell Hats. The beautiful feline makes her way over to see what the... -

New Year's Eve morning. With 2011 about to become just a memory, we looked forward to 2012 with eager anticipation, and I was already thinking about wearing my straw hats once again. With Montecristi and Ecuador on my mind, we decided to try the very well-reviewed Ecuadorian restaurant... -

Boxing Day morning. Getting ready for a busy day, after Christmas(on which I took no photos). Late '40s Stetson St. Regis Homburg. By consensus, we decided to return to our favorite German restaurant, The Glockenspiel in St. Paul, for the second time in one week, for a hearty breakfast... -

Christmas Eve morning. Out for a bit of last minute shopping to prepare for Holiday functions. Heimie's Haberdashery, St. Paul. Wearing my Winter go-to hat once again. No haberdashery is worth their salt without at least a few vintage taxidermy mounts. Here, a nicely prepared skin mount... -

...and it fit! This display looked promising from afar, but unfortunately none of the lids in the booth were of any merit. Very nice Wafer-Edge Stetson at another booth. Alas, much too small for my noggin. We forged on, to yet another antiques mall. My dear Mom was behind the lens for... -

Gentleman sporting a nice vintage lid with felted edge. View of the lights of downtown Minneapolis from the skyway following the concert. Out for another day of antiquing with my Mom, Dad, Lydia and Ryan, and one of my most prized lids. Optimo, undyed Silverbelly. Everyone was in a... -

Our stomachs growling once again, we headed to our favorite Szechuan place, Szechuan Spice, in the bohemian Lyn-Lake area of Minneapolis. The wonderful chef, from Szechuan, China, makes three very different, equally scrumptious lamb dishes. This is the delightfully exotic "Ningxia Lamb"... -

Inviting entrance leading to our favorite Italian restaurant in the Twin Cities, I NONNI. The interior decor is charming, with vault ceiling detail and lovely fixtures. We enjoyed the exquisitely prepared food even more. On the seasonal menu, I found the Agnello, a marsala braised lamb... -

Post New Hats Here!
Thanks for the clarification, Robert, it is as I had thought. Congrats once again on an exceptional haul! -
Post New Hats Here!
This one is quite spectacular as well. Is the velour body and pile thicker on this example compared with the first, or is the ribbon simply sewn on more tightly? -
The Bowler or Derby Hat
