I love the felt and ribbon color on this Homburg, Alan. It reminds me of your Knox that I adore. I played Borodin's Polovtsian Dances, Nos. 8 & 17, with the Minnesota Orchestra. Will post additional photos and write-up to Fedoras Afield shortly. -

Thank you for the most kind comments, my hatted friends! Perry: So, I take it that you did not find the photos a bit corn-y, eh? :D BR: At various times the camera is in the very capable hands of my wife Lydia, our son Ryan, or, when my parents are visiting, my Dad, himself an avid... -
