Well done!

Been wanting a grey homburg for a bit. I did have to pay a whole dollar more than ‘sticker price’ for this Dobbs 15 though Scratch grey off the list... next Up brown.

I like the look of Homburgs... for other people. Ha, ha. They just look horrible on me! But the style is one of the oldest Fedora styles, for sure.

Stefan and Steve gave me the vote of confidence to give them a wear. Only two for now... really only want to add a Nice brown eventually.

Whippets are pretty popular and sometimes go a bit high for me, but it never hurts to make a low ball offer every now and again.

Looks post-Vitafelt, pre-50s. Not bad. Call it an eBay victory.

That spinning hat is making me dizzy, but nice hat.

1950s Saks Fifth Avenue.

I Used to say the same thing. Now I like a nice Homburg, especially with a suit coat.

Muy bien, Danielito! Felicidades! I think you will be disappointed by the felt, but I hope you won't.
Cómo está Darinka? Contenta?

After you find a brown one, you can put grey on the list again: you can't have too many of those! Great catch, Joe.

I'm in this boat too. I love the look of Homburgs, but the hat is a little too formal in appearance, and looks out of place with the balance of my wardrobe. Probably why I stick to thin-ribbon hats these days.

Thank you Stefan. I figured you may say as much. You are proof positive of that statement.

But as I’m sure you know... I always only need one more hat.... and the one after that.

It called out... buy me... buy me. You are getting sleepy. Buy me. LOL.

it was something my phone made on its own of the photos I saved. I thought... well that’s pretty neat.

We’re all good, still in quarantine.

A Stetson Royal is definitely a thicker felt, but in the 40s $10 still bought a pretty good hat. Other companies at the time produced hats for $3.98 and below. That Sears hat we were looking at is an example.

Also I made a pretty low offer

Not a steal, but fun Resistol real Milan for $45. I mean, until the seller stuffed it into a tiny box. Anyone know if there's an easy/safe way to straighten a bound natural Milan brim? Ugh. (First two are before mailing)

I just bought this Geo I Eakle by Dalton, box included and with free shipping, for $25
He was practically giving it away, so...
