The most unfortunate thing is no matter how experienced a rider you are today the other drivers on the road take it away from you. A friend of ours who is a VERY experienced and safe rider of nearly 50 Years... a cross country rider... was returning from the convenience store to his camp ground at bike week. Got smashed by a car that blew a stop sign and broke almost every bone in his body. He was extremely lucky to survive and recover... and he decided his riding days were behind him.
Age old debate, but I just choose not to live life scared. You could say the same about people that skydive, mountain climb, race cars....

Here’s my Stetson Homburg-fedora conversion . Finished it yesterday. I liked it as a homburg, but I amassed three black homburgs recently (two Borsalinos) that looked exactly alike. One of them had to change. The Stetson was the better candidate.
I removed and reused the brim binding so it wouldn’t pucker underneath in the conversion process.
Hand sewing small stitches ain’t fun, but it turned out nice. Where the binding only covered an 1/8 “ on top and over a 1/2 on bottom, now it covers a 1/4” on both sides. I love how it turned out! It may now even compete in my top five picks.
Yep, age old debate. Substitute car for bike and the same things happen. If you are scared of bikes...or other vehicles...don't ride...or drive...or climb mountains...or go to WalMart!

The floodlight in the background washed out the color, so here's a filtered version of my Brodt's instead:

This is a serious WOW hat, Brent! Very nice!! WOW!!
Can I bother you for an interior pic or two?
I didn't even realise that. Thanks, Tim.You covered all the ribbon widths in that post Stefan.
I really like the narrow ribbon Knox, but They all look great.
Very nice, Charlie. Nice proportions and a great crease on that one.I'll never catch up to the parade of perfection seen here this week! But just to wave the flag a bit, today I grabbed the Stylepark Templeform, complete with the fixed wind-cord button.

And to think I thought "Templeform" meant I could only wear it on Saturdays or holidays!
Have Super Saturday!!!
Thanks, Joe. These are the hard hitters alright.Stefan bringing out the big guns today. Looking good!
Thanks, Michael. It would be an albino camel, but I see what you mean.Yes, it's a horsehair band that came on a beat up Mallory I got a couple of years ago. The 3X came sans band so this is what I've been using whenever I wear it.
Nice collection. I like the Knox with that camel coat.
Thanks,
Michael
You're setting an example for wearing black hats more often, Joe. Nice.Keith Brothers XXXX Major got the call up for our friend’s daughter’s sweet 16 party last night.

Looks awfully nice for a beater, Bob.
Grandpa setting the example and the kid seems to dig it. Cool hats and pics, Tim.Whippet today helping me keep up running with the grandkids on the power wheels around the block. Lincoln is sporting a Borsalino.

When is a homburg not a homburg anymore? No matter what it's called, it's a very cool hat, Brent.
Thanks, Randall. I know the feeling of "I wish that was in my size" all too well and you'd wish there were more of a certain hat around. But the hunt is a good part of the fun I would say. Getting a Hanover Square lookalike would be a good way to scratch that HAS itch a bit in the meantime.Beautiful Knox, but that Gorasgu....
Oh, man!! You know I like it, best.
As a matter of fact, that particular smile on your face is telling me: “Hey, Randall, I know you want one, but too sad, too bad!” LOL!
Just kidding. Three more great ones.
I’ve got one on its way that might fill the bill on my dream hat. Maybe.
A Hanover Square lookalike. I hope it fits and is all it looked to be in the sellers pics.
Fabulous pics, Fabio. I noticed before that hat goes perfectly with that tie.
Great hat, great coat. No wonder they put the spotlights on you.The floodlight in the background washed out the color, so here's a filtered version of my Brodt's instead:
