So, what's wrong with some judiciously applied moth nibbles? Nothing better than the earthy look of a hat with character!!

My Peters Bros. moth-eaten relic...

On another related topic, my wife of 37 years used to come to bed dressed in a variety of cute little attractive lingerie. Now she dresses like you in the last shot, Michael, ready to go hunting.

A dark green Portuguese hat marked Pinho, Costa & C:a "Imperial". When I bought it for 150 SEK (16 USD) it had an open crown, which I have bashed to something diamond-ish. A remaining challenge is that it wants to bounce back every time I try to make it long oval.

Great looking hat.

I too send a hearty welcome to you. The more the merrier (or the hattier)!

I've been eyeing mine as well haha! I have a little hat rack attached to my cubicle wall where I put my lids after dropping my work bag on the floor. Every now and then I glance back lovingly at them. Also... I could have sworn I've seen you wear other homburgs in this thread...
You are correct! Lol. That other short crowned/smaller brimmed thing with the too deep flange doesn't count.

Small or not, looks good with that coat. Any idea as to it's age? Late 50s or early 60s?

The Feast of the Immaculate Conception is also my little sister's birthday. A friend of the family owns and operates one of the best sushi bars in North County San Diego, which is where all of the sibling birthdays are celebrated. Not only is the food amazing, but the customer interaction is excellent. On birthdays, they dress the whole party up in these before complimentary sake and ice cream:

Today, a little more business friendly -- St Reg' -- another hommie with a diamond and pinches:

Great looking lids on everyone today!
I like that bash on a Homburg, casual and sporty. Kind of like a mullet hairdo...business in the front, party in the back! :D:D
