This shorpy.com photo here


that skyvue posted in another thread inspired me today. Click on the image to see it all the terrific detail.

Isn't that something? Anyway, I was inspired by the sharp-looking guy squatting next to the larger gentleman in the uniform on the left, and that pork pie-bashed Homburg he's wearing.

So, I took my brown Stetson Homburg and bashed this real quick.

I still need to work with it to make it a lot neater (or maybe sloppier :D) , but so far I like where it's going.

Nice picture + Homburg! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Also have turn that guy into the FL etiquette police for wearing a Homburg without formal attire. :)

The crease in the front-center is my favorite. It reminds me of my skating days.

Lefty, if I can still get out there you should certainly be able to. This isn't today. Too cold/windy here.

:eek:fftopic: They used to make really cool button-fly pants but like all modern companies they sold out to zippers and pant cuts that show a little more boxers... :(

We should have a FL skate event where we wear vintage suits to be non-conforming conformists. I'll grease up my Powell tonight... :rolleyes:

Buler, you rock dude....

Hey, click that Shorpy shot for the large image. Check out the guy in front row, squatting, second in from left. He's sure got his Paul Newman goin' on. But this guy had it first! Great jacket he's wearing too.

I wasn't any good when I stopped around 14 years ago - back before everyone had these fancy skate parks. All that's left in my muscle memory is board slap.

I'm retired.
