TREMENDOUS
Randy, Thank you! Yes, totally agree.That is a beautifully clean and great looking hat, Steve. One of those NOS kind of hats we all search to find.
VERY sharp-looking hat! I can see why it's a favorite.Perhaps my favorite hat—Borsalino Gorasgu (sp?).

Two definite winners!I took my walkabout this morning under the brim of a Stetson 3xMode Edge fedora. The blue-gray felt appears more blue under today's Minnesota sunrise.
I enjoyed morning cold brew (Volcanca Costa Rica and farm sourced half and half) wearing a Brock.
Cheers on a sunny morning, Eric -
VERY handsome!
Stunning as usual, Eric!I took my walkabout this morning under the brim of a Stetson 3xMode Edge fedora. The blue-gray felt appears more blue under today's Minnesota sunrise.

Is this one in the One Hundred thread Vic??
This is the same hat as in the 100 thread. This is the most obvious candidate for ownership.Is this one in the One Hundred thread Vic??
I only recall seeing one other blue One Hundred there but not sure if it was your’s or maybe @rlk?
Any idea who “Maurice Bul**** “ is?
Epic Hundred!!

Two absolutely wonderful finds, Steve. The Homburg is superb, the address on the sweat is the icing on the cake. The postcard is a fantastic iconic image of 1920s Berlin by night. Great bonus with the Habig shop sign.P. & C. Habig Wien "Special", P. & C. Habig's "Special Qualität" Reine Handarbeit Berlin Friedrichstr. 82a possibly early 1930s. It was made specially for the P. & C. Habig Berlin store at Friedrichstrasse 82 which didn't survive WWII and is NOS condition. This has to be one of my best finds. I found this Homburg back in 2019.
The seller of this Homburg is the wife of Arnulf Meifert the original drummer of the progressive Krautrock band Faust. They live in a castle in Bavaria that belonged to her family. "Dr. M" was Arnulf Meifert's father who was a well known Berlin "bon vivant" of the 1920s and 1930s.

Nice! Welcome to the Lounge. Tell us more about the hat (and maybe those boots as well). You wear them well!
Thanks, fellas!I can see why! Looks great David.
I’m always so intrigued by your Mode Edge with bound brim. I wonder if it was special ordered that way by a customer who wanted a Mode Edge “because it’s the best” but still wanted decorative binding. Or if it was offered that way at some point. Beautiful hat! And of course there is The Brock!
Beautiful pairing with that red jacket, Eric!I took my walkabout this morning under the brim of a Stetson 3xMode Edge fedora. The blue-gray felt appears more blue under today's Minnesota sunrise.

Good to see you around, Jeff. Wonderful variety of hatstyles on display there.Checking back in here. Crazy lately, and not really about to let up, but here’s a moment of hatted respite.
Fantastic as always, Alan. The colour shift is remarkable indeed.Stetson Select Quality, circa 1930. A chameleon taupe/brown/gray... adapts to its surroundings.

Nice shape to it, Joe and what looks like a nice dark heather.Old Stylepark with cool spiral brim stitching. From a factory that closed by 1941.

Nothing but exceptional hats from you, Eric. That Brock gets me every time though.I took my walkabout this morning under the brim of a Stetson 3xMode Edge fedora. The blue-gray felt appears more blue under today's Minnesota sunrise.

Oooh, now that's different. Love that colour.
For some reason those Wormser hats are very photogenic. This one is no exception; beautiful hat, Nathan.1940s (I think) Wormser Supreme today.
