If homburgs were de rigeur, I'd go to one of our overpriced Rangers games myself. That is a really excellent photo for its hat watching potential.

.. I hope to score a nice gray one of some fine furfelt type soon. After taking the plunge with my very first "decent" hat (Bailey Homburg), and seeing it on, I'm a believer they're a very classic alternative to the standard fed and snap-brims. Takes it back a few decades in style.
