Can an homburg or a bowler be considered a stingy? Well here is one of each with tiny brims…

Julius Garfinckel and Co homburg. Gifted to me by @Rmccamey some time back. Ya know come to think of the brim binding on this one is so stingy it might almost be a lords hat.

Tress and Co Brown Bowler…. About as short a brim as you will find on a bowler View attachment 389791 View attachment 389792

On the Eleventh Day of StingyMas….

Here we are on the Eleventh and final day of StingyMas… which also coincidentally (or not so coincidentally… you decide) coincides with the observance of Festivus.

I decided today to profile two beautiful hats that not only represent StingyMas.. but also in my opinion the Fedora Lounge spirit as a whole. These two hats were gifted to me by lounge friends @Rmccamey and @jlee562

The Eagle Stetson Royal De Luxe

I started today with a zoom call offering me a position I have been pursuing for the past month. I am very happy and excited! It’s a StingyMas/Festivus Miracle!!!

The new black CD gets the nod for a morning puppy perambulation.

Beautiful hats, Eric! Can I ask what are the open crown and brim dimensions on the Premier? David

David this hat has an open crown of 5.5" and a brim of 2.5". It is a Canadian made Holthausen fedora made in the factory located in Brockville.


I headed out on some errands in a pre-40's Brock fedora.

Home again I went out with my dog and did some yard chores. I changed and wore a pre-40's St. Lawrence, sold by the Brock Hat co. This fedora was made by the Wolthausen Hat Co.

No head shot yet, but I've been wearing my latest conversion. It started out as a blue Stetson Royal Deluxe St. Regis Homburg. I definitely don't wear a Homburg well, so I converted it. I had hoped to reuse the brim binding but after reflanging it to a snap brim the circumference widened and the ribbon was just too small to reuse. For now I'm leaving it raw edge until I find a ribbon for it. Couldn't reuse the original sweat either. But, I was able to reuse the original black ribbon and liner. I also glued the manufacturers label back into the hat. I took it completely apart and converted it. I'll get some head shots later. The open crown is 5 3/4 tall with a 2 5/8 snap brim. The ribbon is 1 5/8 wide.

Thanks, Eric—I would have guessed a 6” crown. Great hat. And another beautiful spread of hats!

Cheers,

David

It was a wonderful StingyMas Joe (and other participants)!

Congrats on the new job! May you glide through 2022 and for years after that. Looking forward to the next Stingymas (that I hope to be a part of).
