I can answer part of the question as I have lots of collapsible top hat wearing experience.
There's no give to the oval section where it sits on your head and if it sits too low you'll feel the springs. The fabric on the inside is stretched taut so that has some give to it, that's effectively...
While it's true I wimp out in the shower I do try to dress well when I motor past the pestilential populace as I break quarantine.
How do I do it? Velcro!
Today was just one of those days.
Yesterday I unpacked that Knox Foxhound fedora and instantly thought, "Gah! What an ugly little fuzzy hat! If I had seen it in person I never would have bought it..." and then I spent all day today wearing it.
I think this might become one of my favorite hats...
I looked through my baby pictures last night and in NOT ONE of them was I wearing a homburg.
No wonder I feel deprived. I don't know what my mother was thinking.
Shoot me a price for both of them in a PM, please. I'm sure they could both be stuck in one box.
Did someone say "swirling effect"?
The next time someone doses your Aunt Tillie's fruit punch, this will be sure to be a crowd pleaser (and with a low Buy It Now price, too).
You know you're bored when you buy a hat that you need like a hole in the head but justify the purchase with it was only $25 plus shipping, I can spiff it up easily enough and if a bird poops on it I won't be totally distraught.
Then I come here and see that people are buying hats that they know...
With working at home due to the plague it's pretty much wake up, put on a hat and take it off to shower and sleep. It must look ridiculous to wear a dress hat indoors but I figure the wife and dog are used to me by now.
Before the creeping crud hit it was don't wear a hat indoors as that's...
I can't recall ever going fox hunting and have no plans to do so BUT should Prince Charles or somebody ring me up, I think I'll know what to drag along for the complimentary refreshments.
Oh, yes, the entire affair was quite smashing. Say, you gonna finish that?
I think this should clean up...
Ye Olde Knox Derby showed up today.

At...
That's a tough one.
I guess whichever one I have on my fat head at the moment.
This Stetson Biaritz is almost up to St. Regis quality but they got the ribbon riding about 2mm too high in the front.
I believe they were made a for a short time just a few years ago as it has a modern size tag but...
I was thinking about how people view items as I was driving home with it last Fall.
To his wife it was just old clutter to get rid of, to his kids it was something that they didn't want and could care less about but to the owner this old hat was an important part of his life that he was passing...
Here are two beauties which I really like.
The one on the right appeared on Broadway in My Fair Lady quite some time ago, the other one appeared on my door step in a Priority Mail box.
