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...

    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.

    "Fedora Hats Are Rarely Sexy"

    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...

    1882 Fedora or homburg

    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".

    1882 Fedora or homburg

    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?

    Quite the variety of clothes Dinerman. Much more than me. How many formal hats(top hats, derbies, bowlers) do you have?

    New Borsalino arrived

    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.

    Won - WWII Army Officer's Cap

    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.
