Homburgs are a lot more versatile than I used to think. I love the style, too.

Having half dozen bowlers is a sure cure for such situations!

Thanks, brother! I'm excited too!

I keep telling myself I'm done and then another one pops up. There's gotta be an end somewhere....

I’m the same. I thought announcing it publicly would help. “My last hat for a while” or “Now I’m completely out of space” or something. But nope, I just keep acquiring more.

At least at this point my interests are almost entirely pre-1950s hats, so that does help.

Or start-up bespoke, like King’s Umbrella!

This must be the biggest box of hats I've ever received.

Looking forward to delving into these sub boxes and posting results

Spoiler alert: the bottom two boxes are empty, the rest are interesting.
Every single one of those hats in the background looks like a winner. Did you just pull all that out of boxes?

Very thin and light. Nine to the inch weave, diamond pattern. Probably Shantung or similar paper.

2" brim 4" Crown 1/2" ribbon

Tip Logo. Check out that tight weave. But I don't think it's any kind of straw. Or hand-made.

Factory Label say anything to you guys about the manufacturer?
