There ought to be a Hall of Fame for the most outstanding "What Hat Are You Wearing Today" postings and I nominate this one for membership.

Wow, that is sharp!

You're very kind, thank you. I acquired it from a fellow FD member a couple of weeks ago. It's in immaculate condition and a size 7 so I didn't have to break the bank.

Early 50's Whippet

Wow. Learn something new on here every day. Alan, if I had seen your Baku on eBay I would have thought it was a Panama but that there was something different about it. Thanks for posting yours with the description. It is a great looking hat.

Cost and convenience. I wouldn’t pay $50 for a ball cap but have paid four times or more for fedoras. I’ve never left my favorite ball cap home on vacation because I was afraid I’d damage it on the flight. I never dedicated 1/4 or more of precious closet space for my collection of ball caps...

LOL. I’ve never seen that before. Too funny!

Others have given you great advice — spend some time wandering around this forum — you’ll learn a lot and become more confident in identifying what you want to acquire. One thing to be careful about concerning eBay and Etsy: don’t assume the seller is accurately describing the hat when it comes...

That, Sir, is one incredible homburg and you wear it very, very well

I’ll take it. Tried to message you by starting a conversation

Outstanding!

I bought a nearly new David Morgan Adventure second hand that came with the “Indy bash.” I liked the hat fine and it seemed well made. The felt was pretty stiff; it was going hold that bash for years. Unfortunately it was just too big for me and I reluctantly sold it.

Thank you gentlemen for the kind comments. I wanted to take a moment and thank the regulars who posted in this thread, such as Bolthead, RLK, joshbru3, Frunobulax, Hurricane Jack, Stuer, LBGradwell and many others. I started wearing fedoras only about a year ago and I had heard of Champ hats...

A bit of hand pinching before I get home and use the steamer.
