Too long since I’ve had something worthy to post here.
Dark blue Stetson The Sovereign Twenty Marine (color or model?) in size 7 ½ or 60cm. The ribbon still has the basting stitching. I really like blue hats and this dark blue has enough blue to bot appear black. Aside from some foxing it looks pristine.

I saw that in your eBay store an hour ago. I dunno if I can get away with a homburg but it sure is purdy, Brent

A most excellent homburg, Brent.

My first contribution to the Homburg Nation is this Scott and Co. Midnight Blue homburg.

With a 2-1/4 inch brim and 5-1/2 inch open crown, the felt is quite nice (probably rabbit or hare) though not particularly soft. However, the inside is impressively luxurious.

An excellent pair of homburgs, Nathan.

Dobbs, late 50s/early 60s is my guess.

There’s nothing particularly remarkable about this homburg except I think the colors are worth showing off.

5-5/8 crown and 2-1/4 inch brim.

Me too! I love this particular hat as well, but it is an early ‘50s edition. O.P.S. was in effect from 1951 - 1953.
Thanks Bob! Just to clarify, this is an OPA vice OPS hat. Here’s a FL link that describes the differences:

https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/opa-ops-ceiling-price-tags.62777/

I haven’t read all this yet, but the main difference straight off is that the OPA is an earlier version of OPS and covers the years 1941-1947 (according to the post).

You know what makes this even funnier is something nobody in the Lounge knows until now: I still keep my hair cut in a mohawk.

And that, opposed to what it was when I was a young man (can’t access a better photo right now):

So yes, your vision for my future as a banker would be a big change indeed!
