Hence the thread name: You get feed into the machine looking healthy and fine and leave it with a greenish complexion feeling slightly woozy...

Looks to be one of those fedora/homburg hybrids, Dinerman.

Dinerman said:It is indeed. .... I'm surprised the style died out.

Marc Chevalier said:Me too. They're one of the most unique --but good-looking-- 'dress hat' styles of the 20th century. I often get compliments for my one and only hybrid, a grey Stetson.

M_Jones said:So you own that one Dinerman? I thought that it was one of those saved auction photos. And the hat is green? I have looked at the pics of this hat often and would trade my C&K 40 for it. Any chance of getting dimensions?
M_Jones said:I just get weird looks with mine but I love 'em just the same. They are great hats.
Dinerman said:Yup- That's one of mine. It's forest green with a brown/purple ribbon. A few moth bites- you can see them in the photos, but in remarkable condition for its age.
I'm at school in Halifax, the hat's back home in Maryland, so I won't be able to get you any info on it until June. If you'd still be interested in it then, I'd love to talk.
ScottF said:You have one of the best - I got more second glances wearing that hat than any, but it was so much fun that I didn't care.
What I'm finding with others from that period - even though the brim might snap down more naturally than your grey one, most have a bend along the sides (like western hats) that makes them look great with the front dipped rather than snapped.
Scott Wood said:Lousy weather today so the pic is just a quick shot to get posted.
I went out to do chores, went to the store and waited for the post to be sorted, brought it home and opened everything else, made fresh coffee, scrubbed hands and stared at it for 5 mins lol
When I opened it I just popped it on my head and out the door for the photo so excuse the scruffy-me and more pics to come in the days to follow
