First vintage hat: Stetson St. Regis

Far better as a center dent. I'd leave it at that. -M

I agree. I think you had it right with the center dent and pinches.

I'm liking that Homburg on you and it is a REALLY nice one too.
I see the comments about the photo of liner being reversed. You must need to go into your Mac settings for photos. All of your photos are reversed I assume since the bow is on the wrong side and I think some box on table in background has its text reversed also (not that it's the end of the World or anything). I would imagine there is some setting ticked off for mirror photos that are so popular when doing phone camera shots.

It looks good. I'd put a deeper center dent in it. Don't worry about proper attire. People with rules never look as good as they think they do.

Amen!

Alright, here are a couple of updated photos. I have since reverted back to a center crease, with two side dents.

And here's the top of the crown:

P.S. A leather jacket's all I own, sorry for the... informality. :whistling

That's just the right crease. Well done. :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

I have no problem with fedoras, but I'm still a rookie when it comes to homburgs. I think I finally found a crease that sits on my head comfortably, and looks right.

 

[Mulceber]

Looks great! -M

 

[scottyrocks]

I like it!

Awesome homburg JB! You've done well! You've made the crown and the front pinches look great!

 

[The Good]

Thank you everyone!

Just another thing; I plan on wearing the Stetson to my classes, out in tomorrow's rainy weather. Anyone advise against it, or should it hold up just fine?

OT
I thought I was crazy for a while - I haven't been able to see anything you're posting. I switched to the white background, which is so much less cluttered looking, but it makes your white font nearly invisible.

I'm sorry it caused trouble, but I'm so used to the black background with the white text (as well as smaller font size), I have taken up to writing it in that manner...

Feel free to do it as you like, it's my problem (and one in the system), not yours.

Some of you might've seen a few pictures of it on the "What hat are you wearing" thread, but since this thread is like a log for keeping updates about the hat, here's a few before and after shots, all taken relatively recently.

Old look:

(And back at the desk, today, very early morning hours)

I changed it from a homburg to fedora by literally cutting the brim with scissors (and following the "threading" around the brim). It's about 2 1/8 inches all around, more or less. It's not completely even, if just by very small fractions of an inch, but it appears so me, and the general public... I like it better this way, it's what I had intended to do in the first place when I bought it back in October. I gave the homburg look a try, but somehow it felt too anachronistic, or I felt too overdressed, and I liked the general fedora style more to begin with.

I thought you pulled off the homburg look pretty well, but I'm more of a fedora/OR guy myself, so I think your fedora look is just as "Good", if not better.
