Hello, Gents! I'm seeking help identifying the following hat from the movie The Gathering Storm (2002). I think it's a homburg but it looks like it has a narrower brim than a typical homburg. Any idea where I could find one just like it (but in black)?

Hi Everyone I realize this is a very old thread but a situation just came up and I’m hoping for some help. I was just about to buy a beautiful $300 hat of the brand Fernandez y Roche, a Spanish company, when someone told me about the possibility of rabbits being skinned alive. Is it possible...

Hi, Gents! I'm getting married this Spring (Hurrah!) and I'd like to buy a collarless shirt and a detachable collar to go with it. Which online shop would you recommend? Thank you!

Yessir!

Eliesti, Thanks for the photos, but the brim is much too wide for my liking. I'll have to skip. I'm surprised they make such a wide brim for the non-Hasidic public.

Can I trouble you for a profile shot too? How high is the crown? How much are you asking for it?

Right! At least 2 inches. Portugal?

Hi! Definitely interested. Can you send some photos? 3.75 inch brim sounds intense. Is this an Hasidic hat?

Gents, Ladies, I'm looking to buy a size 7 3/8 or 7 1/2 BLACK fedora with a wide brim. Thank you! Alon

I'm the proud new owner of a top hat. My very first. All the details are still available on the eBay site: http://www.ebay.de/itm/alter-Chapeau-Claque-Zylinder-Hut-Jugendstil-Hut-Goebelhoff-Hannover-Gr-59-5-/380732552158?ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:DE:1123

Brad, Thank you for your reply. That is a brilliant hat! I'm curious: when worn, is the opera hat at all distinguishable from a regular topper? Is the outline of the metal coils at all visible underneath the satin silk?

Does anyone own an opera hat? Would you be able to model it for us? I'm curious to see how they look compared to the real deal. Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback, guys. You saved me from bidding on a 7 1/4 topper which would've never fit.

Gents, I'm desperately looking for a top hat but they seem to be extremely rare in my size, 7 1/2. I was wondering if a professional hatter can expand a top hat as he can a fedora? The reason I ask is because I've seen several 7 1/4 toppers for sale and I wonder if, with a bit of a stretch...

Richard, I'm interested in the first one, the Herbert Johnson. I PM'ed you but haven't heard back. Is it still available?
