Thanks. After some steam and a brush the prior evening I was able to tweak the shape a little with a slightly tighter pinch in the front. Tried to get a diamond bash on top but it reverted back to a C-crown.



Thanks. The tie wasn't my first choice (skinny tie on a spread collar), but the grey accents paired well with the hat so I think it worked.

I've been passively looking at toppers myself. If I knew I'd look half as dapper as you I might actually spend a bit more time and effort looking.
Thanks [emoji4]
You should definitely spend some time looking for a top hat. No hat collection is complete without one or two [emoji6]

I can't get enough of this Borsalino Homburg. It is 7 1/4, so I put it on a custom band block, steamed it, and reshaped the brim last night. It fits perfectly now. Saved some money by not taking it to Ignacio.

Today....continuing down the Homburg Way is another non-European, so it’s just gray with a black ribbon. Maybe 40’s i guess. Confusing Lot numbers but the felt is not confusing at all. Every bit as nice as it’s Vita-Felt cousin. I do so love an embroidered liner.
Be well. Bowen
Well, what can I say but well done to both of you?! Superb homburgs gentlemen!

Thanks Red.

Supposed to be very summer like here today. And it's starting out that way with a T-storm. Looks like the bulk of it is slipping by just southwest of me, and by just I mean about 20 blocks. Melvin Panama before the rains started.

One of your nicest straws, Michael. Perfect shape.

Thanks, Greg. I've become more accepting of the center dent over the past several months.





Always love seeing the University Club, Alan. One of my favorites of yours.

Centerdents and homburgs are where it's at; we're halfway there!

Wearing this super antique silk topper for 5 minutes this evening just so I could show it off. Shameless misuse of FL rules of "what hat are you wearing today" I know, but I'm over the moon about this purchase I picked up today. [emoji4]

Wow, Steve. That is some hat. I understand you need to start with small doses of it...
