Best Ever!
I just recieved a hat from Gus Miller. IT IS THE NICEST FEDORA I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!! Nicer than any of my other custom hats and nicer than my Stetson 20, 30's Borsalino Trifino, 40's Citation. Simply divine. The brim even rolls down like a vintage fedora. No need for steam or water...
sorry
I have been spending time with my grandparents for the holidays in Houston and have had very little access to the computer.
I was very impressed with the hat. The felt is pliable but not floppy. The felt is about meduim weight. The gray has a greenish tinge or cast and the band is a...
Dont forget Empire hats, Lincoln and Bennett, Scott and Co, Extra Quality. All famous for their silk plush top hats but also made fedoras, triblies, homburgs, and of course the bowler.
I am in Houston and going first hand tomorrow to see the Guerra "Salento". Hopefully it will impress me enough today as it did before my purchases from Optimo and Art Facwett. If so I will buy it and do a detailed report.
Well said.
I don't think women collectively get together at a Global “what is what isn’t sexy” summit. It’s just an opinion and won't affect your personal life to much If you dress to be sexy. I know I don't dress to be sexy, I dress because I naturally love fedoras and clothes. I...
No, its art and interior design gallery named Martin. http://martinshowroom.net/ I used to work there but it was tough as a salesman becuase all the customers thought it was a museum. At Martin they premoted me to be wearing silk top hats and full morning dress to work!!! They are great people...
Yes I know. Hats that have a penicl curl brim with a center dent are called homburgs. The reason I posted this is because it shows in magazines, catolags, and advertisments of that time that hats with a pencil curl brim and center dent are a "fedora".
It is said that fedoras started in the late 1800's but what I see titled "fedora" in magazines and catalogs are not fedoras but homburgs sometimes with pinches. What time did the homburg and the fedora draw their distinctions?
The felt looks like cashmere as it is very rich and a little longer of a nap. I can see three different shades of greys in it. I will post some pictures of just the hat.
Enlisten men had both styles of service caps. The thing that makes it an enlisten mens hat is the smaller US coat of arms in a circle instead of a larger coat of arms in no circle for an officer.
I decided I would wear some modern italian designer clothes instead of the vintage suits with the Borsalino.
