If Indiana Jones Wore a Homburg

[J.T.Marcus]

...might it look something like this?

I found myself with a surplus of black Homburgs, and a desire to have a black Whippett (or reasonable facsimile). With steam iron and soak, it took some time to (gently) remove the pencil roll. When finished, I was fairly pleased, but on a whim I tried something I had played with, before. With no steam or water, I turned up just the bound edge (not a full pencil roll). I like it enough, I think I'll keep it this way.

By the way, the hat is a Lundstrom (Since 1884) Zenith, which I'm guessing was made prior to WW II (The manufacturer"s paper tag said the model was the "ADOLPH." Anybody got any history on Lundstrom?

Nice job on the hat. I love the gal's expression to your right.

 

[LEUII]

Good job. The hat has a distinctive look.

A hat with a style named 'Adolf' made prior to WWII is a little suspicious, however.

Very nice look. I've always wanted a homburg but thought it a little too formal for everyday wear after seeing this it's changing my mind.

If Indy wore a homburg, it would be my brown Dobbs with the front crunched down by hand, as was done on stylish east coast campuses in the mid 30s. Looka here.

 

[J.T.Marcus]

Fletch, Well, shut my mouth! That is one fine looking hat, and you are certainly right in your assessment. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

The lesser spotted snap-brim Homburg! Looks sharp.
