What hat are you waiting for today?

[The Lost Cowboy]

I don’t think I could ever pull off a homburg but that is a really beautiful hat. Post some pictures of it on!

I don’t mind the homburg look. It’s the fact that I can’t pull the brim down over my face and neck that makes it unsuitable to my needs.

But they do make for interesting photos.

Cheers!

I agree with Joe, David. You could definitely pull off a Homburg. Go for it.

You're collection isn't complete without one

Ha—thank you both! Will keep it in mind.

I’m in the same boat. Not sure if I can pull it off either and yet, here I am in the market for one lol. I’m going to a wedding in November and wanted to try a homburg for one of the rare occasions I wear a suit.

You so can pull it off. Just own the hat.

Check that classified listing, Phil - I might have an option for you.

Great hat.

I’m not much of a homburg man but I have had a 50s St. Regis that I very much enjoyed wearing. I gifted it to a friend just before COVID and never found another one that really grabbed me. I eventually just stopped trying.

But I could not resist this (late 40s? Pre-St Regis?) “Royal Stetson Deluxe”, with stars on both the liner and the sweatband, at a more than reasonable price.

Even if I don’t end up wearing it out much, it will be a valuable addition to my modest collection - it looks to be in almost mint condition.

I'm not a fan of how I look in a Hommie, but I whip one out occasionally anyway.

One way to ease into wearing homburgs… especially if you feel like they are too dressy. A little trick I picked up from @steur …. If you go ahead and add in a fedora like pinch to the front like @The Lost Cowboy has above. It can really help ”casual-ize” an Homburg to go with even tshirt and jeans.

Even better: pair one with tie dye a la @mmbarnes

I was wondering who was going to get that hat. I bet it’s fantastic. Congratulations!

Thanks, Brent. That was a no-brainer for me. A must-have fedora.

Unfortunately it’s arriving a couple days after I leave for vacation, but that means it will be waiting for me when I get back.
