A couple of rainy-day projects I picked up at the thrift store.

The western is a really nice color. It has a 4" brim, for now anyway.

The rolled up one is what appears to be lower-grade Panama. I don't think shantung rolls like that, or has an edge like this, although I could be wrong. It has happened once. Big floppy ladies' sun hat, hoping to be able to turn it into something a little closer to my style. The grommets are a bummer, don't want to remove them for fear of a great unraveling.

Now, we just need some rain so I can start.:)

For $35 I'd say you made out like a bandit! I do agree with RBH somewhat that fedoras are more your style, but in my opinion that Schoble doesn't look bad at all. :eusa_clap

I think it looks good. Sometimes it takes some getting use to to see yourself in another style. My wife's not too fond of me in a Homburg, but if I wear them enough, it will look more natural.

Excellent Schoble Hommie, Moon!

thank you gentlemen

yeah I somewhat agree that it is not really my style ... it is a really nice hat though in nearly perfect condition

I think with the proper attire it would work on occasion

I think if I wear it casually with say ... jeans and a T ... it will feel less 'mafia'... less 'Churchill' :)

I dig it though ... and for the price ... you can't beat it

You're already rocking that style. Moon. Sure, it's a change, but with such a nice lid, you WILL find your mojo under there! And as a brown (not black, gray) you're starting out a bit on the more casual, or day-to-day type of Hommy. WEAR it proudly, my friend. YOU CAN.

It's looks unique and edgy and you can rock that hat! If you aren't thrilled with wearing it, I'd be honored! PM me if that should be the case. Thx.
