My first vintage hat ever ... it was inherited from my great-grandmother's long-dead husband. A black homburg from the 1920s, made by "Gelot" (a Parisian hatter). Luckily, I have a photo of the hat's former owner wearing it in the '20s . (My great-grandmother is to his right):
I took some steam, curled the sides of the brim so that they form a "smile", popped out the side dents in the crown, and in that way made it mine. Love that hat!
