Nice Lid Matt.....

Looks good on you too, especially next to red. ;)

I think I could only be convinced to wear a homburg in black. Maybe one of these days I'll come around.

AlanC, I couldn't agree with you more. It's actually the only black hat I own to date. A vintage Black Homburg Brodt's, that I acquired from our very own Dinerman, a very classy hat indeed.

I hope the black hat I'm expecting fits.

Great hat, Matt.

Remember the deep black fedora William Powell wore with dinner suit in Libeled Lady? Trying to find a pic.

I have a black fedora that I especially like to wear with my camel hair overcoat.

Nice hat I tend to like black hats. As you can see in my avator...

I guess I might get along well with the villians. :)

I always loved the villains in the movies - they always have the sharpest tailoring ;) - and I'm a religious boy in real life, so black hats suit me down to the ground, heh. Black goes with just about everything, plus it's slimming.... suits my fat head! :p I'm looking forward to organising myself with a few more fedoras in various olive / brown / grey / navy shades to match different outfits. I'm a real one for colour coordination when I can manage / afford it.

The shorter brim definitely suits you more than the Indy brims now that your face has slimmed down dramatically. You have a Bogartesque length to it, and those proportions complement you very welll. :eusa_clap

black hats

Although black hats are the number one color that we sell, black is still the biggest selling color in the dress market as well. Stetson and Biltmore tell us that this is the number one color sold in all oftheir markets. I am sure that many retailers would agree as well. This was not the case years ago as gray and brown were more important but times have changes.

The only thing that bothers me about my black hat is that it seems to attract every speck of light-colored lint and such within a twenty foot radius. I need to find a good, vintage gal that will be willing to carry a travel lint brush in her bag for me.:D

Rule of thumb: multiply inches by 2.5 to get the equivalent in cm. 1"=25mm
