lol thanks!

Bowler is back.
With the prairie winds starting to kick back up, there's nothing quite like a stiff custom made bowler with a western pencil roll to keep one's lid on, so to speak. (Baron Hats)

Hey, I bailed early last night watching the election coverage (commentary on results withheld) and so I'll take this moment to thank you for the kind comments on my Cavanagh.

Alan, Jeff, Randall, Perry and danofarlington, thanks so much guys for the kind words about the Wegener.
It's a lightweight unlined Hat with a soft but stiff and malleable felt.


Alan, fantastic Hawes Von Gal Hat. Man, that looks perfect. You look very sharp with that one!

Jeff, right so! That's what I love, on you! bowlerman is back!

Javier, you look good with that Homburger. That could be your style!

Where's my Hat... ? in Upstate NY!
Thanks for the kind words fellas. Its my first homburg, but I can see the prestige of them, very classy. Eventually I will have the finished edging replaced, but I recall reading its a difficult fix as it not the standard edge and techniques used, and not many modern day hatters do it.

Alan you are the man.
You can wear every hat with style.
What's your secret? :eusa_clap:)

I just take a zillion photos... most are awful, but eventually one or two turns out OK. Just don't tell anyone. :)

Javier, not sure what needs to be done on your hat, but maybe look to find the answer in the next one. There are so many great homburgs that sell for a song. Many were dress hats worn on special occasions so you can find them for sale in great condition. I think it is a good style for you.
