It's a Knox superfine 40's.
epic610 said:that the recent upsurge in hats is telling us is that perhaps we all tend to under-dress, and that instead of trying to match hats to our casual clothes, we might also want to wear suits, sport jackets, slacks, etc. more often to reflect the hats we wear. the phrase "Dress to the Hat" comes to mind.
just a contrary thought!

I also wear it with khakis and a blue blazer. Amazing combination!
That works for you, NB13. Throw a silk scarf around your neck and rake that Homburg to the side and you're ready for an evening at the local bistro.Not-Bogart13 said:On another note, I wore my homburg today in casual mode to run errands and such. And I actually had time to get a couple of pics before leaving!

Assuming this was a recent event, congratulations!I got married in a Homburg, without a doubt my favourite hat, and one I think suits me. I love a unique hat.

Great picture HS!There's no denying that the homburg pairs perfectly with a beautifully cut suit, however, they tend to be my go to hats when I want something a little more outside the box.
