Is it the perspective, or is that a giant hat, Robert? Nice TAR.

Thanks! It's not that big - it has about a 6.5" crown and 4" brim.

Geez, Robert that is a sharp looking hat. I wonder what it would look like if you got rid of the western look on the brim, yet left the hat bashed as it is!?!

Just got this homburg off ebay:

anyone know the age?

That should fit you fairly well, and what a find! It sure is nice.

Thanks - I just did a quick fix tonight (since the brim was flatter and much higher on one side than other), but I want to do something different with the brim since I have another hat that's almost identical. I am considering a curled-edge for the brim - still a western look, but different from my other "Gus" hat.

Robert, very nice Western hat. That is a gus crown, or!

My Stetson 5X craigslist bargain - it just needed the brim reshaped (due to shipping or storage) and now it is good to go. I am guess-timating a 1980s vintage.

Nice looking hat, but the silver belly sure gets dirty easily, and I wish I knew how to avoid that.

Many apologies ahead for the number of pics in this post... and for being a hasty copy & paste from the 'Date your hat' thread.QUOTE]

I would say your signature is true. You HAVE got the fever! Great hats! All the other posts are fantastic also.

Haha, thanks Howard!!! I try to keep the sickness away, but when I see a hat I like... I fail at keeping it at bay...

G. & Fllo Borsalino Qualita Extra-Extra Superiore Bowler + Box, size 7 1/4. This one had some major dents but I was able to work them out fairly well with steam. The box has a shipping date stamp of 3/31/31. More details in the Borsalino Brotherhood and Bowler - Derby threads.

Little worn down Dobbs (?) top hat. I can't find the make on the hat itself, so I'm going with the box... The interior says "Paris" but I don't know that Dobbs ever set up shop out there.

Mayser, that bowler is fantastic! What a find!!

Jeff, that Topper is great! That wear adds some character to an alreadey nice hat! Again, great find!

That seems to be the general opinion around the lounge with these hats. I just got mine yesterday and I am EXTREMELY impressed with the quality.
