New to me 1940s long hair green Royal De Luxe Stetson. This was listed as gray, but seemed like a pale green online.

The homburg makes you look more elegant and sophisticated! That's my feeble rationale, at least :)

Same thing happens to me with bowlers. I'll get compliments 10:1 over any other hat style I wear.

Vented lightweight bowler in Steel from Northwest Hats.

Out and about today in the Knox Superfine homburg.

Interesting how neighbors’ reactions change when I wear a homburg as opposed to a fedora. For whatever reason, they seem more receptive to the homburg.

Early 40s melusine Stetson and a 1978 Case trapper knife that I added a scale/handle yesterday.
I recently bought the knife for $28 missing a handle on one side and figured I could make one out of JB Weld. I did the “jigging” using the side of a Dremel tool and small round bit.
Then dyed it brown with Rit dye and sealed with lacquer.
Oddly, as far as a cursory research, Case has commemorated every thing, famous person, company and historical event that ever existed—except Stetson hats; which I found puzzling.
So, I took the matter upon myself and embedded this gold Stetson hat pin.
In the last photo you can see the factory handle for comparison
