Outstanding! That hat is the perfect combination with your ensemble...one of the best I’ve seen so far on this forum. And you wear it perfectly. All I can say is, “well done!”

D is always a sharp dresser.

Traditionally, your hat was supposed to match your overcoat (not your suit coat), but such rules are rarely adhered to today. We also wear brown shoes in town, allow tuxedos to be worn before 6:00 p.m., and wear loafers for other than loafing. Many of us avoid the matchy matchy look (like double denim), but when done right like D in his Borsalino it can look striking.

Hey now, I like to matchy matchy my denim denim.

A day out in Copenhagen. Thought it deserved this Borsalino Lobbia bought from Daniele. Once more, Penumbra Hats have done a great job cleaning it and replacing the ribbon and trim on the curled brim. The colour represents that of the original. A big thanks to them and Daniele for their excellent choice.

Have a great weekend fellow Loungers.

What a wonderful hat, Steve. You are looking quite dapper today. I really like the unique contrasting brim binding. It gives it a tight, neat, sophisticated appearance. Another gem from Daniele

I wasn't able to get up and about today until later this afternoon. Grabbed the tweed jacket from yesterday and a hat I haven't been wearing as much as it deserves. Stetson late 50's - early 60s Sovereign Twenty with the sweet Mode Edge and some really wonderful dark brown, velvety felt. I generally like a wider brim than this 2-1/4" lid affords, but it's nice enough that I just don't care.

The felt easily molds to whatever shape a fella wants, but to my eye the classic center dent works best with this one. I have the front pinch at about 4-1/4" and keep it level with no rake. A superb hat, really, it fits just a touch loose at size 7-1/2 but feels real comfortable on the noggin'. I wish my pics showed the felt off better. It goes really well with the old copper wide ribbon.

Very nice hat, Tuk! I love the wide ribbon it seems to bring out the red tones in the brown felt. Another classic Stetson Sovereign Twenty. I am glad you pulled that one out today.

That is one fine looking Homburg, Steve. Looks like the rest of the outfit isn't too shabby either.

Dobbs Hanover Square for work tonight. This has turned into one of my favorites.

Lovely hat, Bill. Easy to see why it's a favorite.

Very nice, Reggie. Finally the time of tweeds is here again.
Ooooh Nice! Love the color on this Strat Richard.


Great snag Jim! I always thought that the Imperials were high end with all the bells and whistles. This is more understated than I expected. Wonderful hat to be sure, I guess there were different trim levels on all the models across the board. Love that suede finish, must feel wonderful.


This is one spectacular hat Eric. Lots of brim and a wonderful finish. Envy...


That finish and ribbon treatment...drooool!


Halali? Interesting! Nice looking pair you got there Stefan.


Love me sum Pecan! It is such an interesting shade. Great Mike Miller creation.


The model name on this one is interesting. I sent an Airlite to Stefan a while back, I think it was a Champ. Smooooth looking hat.


Nice lines on this Melton Brent. Like the color too.


I am totally enamored with these Hanover Squares. This one is especially nice, deep rich color. Looks to be in great shape too. Nice one Bill.
Thanks, Mike. Halali is a German brand. With some searching jiu jitsu you should be able to find a few examples in the German and Austrian thread.
