Inspired by bowlerman's "fedorisation" of a homburg, I did the same with my Breuninger. The hat was actually about about a size too big, but with the new bash (teardrop) and deeper side creases it suddenly fits!

et voila, a "hedorburg" (or maybe a homdora)

Very cool look there! With both yours and bowlerman's adjusted homburgs, I'm been tempted to get one and try it too!

Thanks everyone!

I suppose you'll have to be careful what kind of homburg you do it to: The homburg I "fedorised" was very soft felt: my other two hommies are rock solid like bowlers/derbys and I'm guessing it would be harder to adjust them.
....Maybe if I took one into a sauna with me and bashed it in there! :)

Thank you everyone for the compliments.

I've been trying to get used to it. The color is very plain, like a greyscale equivalent of beige. It's a nice hat, though. The felt holds a dry bash very well.

davidraphael, the homburg looks great with that pinch and dip! I don't think that was all that inauthentic anyway.
Really wonderful posts today. AnA-- your McAndrew is really superb. Alex, what a sweet, juicy joicy! It's really nice.
Perry's brown Whippet stands out as well. Aw, heck, David, Eric, yours are exquisite too!

As I get more familiar with the color of my new thrift-sweater, I've been enjoying my Wellington today.

I love the Wellington. I drink the Whippet Kool-Aid and some of the Whippet-like hats are better than the genuine.

Yep, you'd better be cozy with the sweater. It will likely be the item your wear under a medium coat by this weekend.

Alex... I thought we taught we taught you at FedoraFest that it is crease not bash!!!

:eusa_doh: You're right! I guess I'll just have to attend the next FedoraFest for remedial lessons :D.

Ah, and Chopper, love the smooth trim on that Squatter. When I tried to cut down my Squatter it...well in any case I don't wear it anymore lol.

Case, you have achieved the ideal ratio of Swoop to Rake. Nicely done!

Jeff, I don't know what's in that bowl, but you might want to replace it with something tastier. ;) I like the autumnal sweater and Wellington combination!
