Nice hat, I just hope Susan Dey was not harmed in the making of the ribbon.

That's just wrong.

Mmm...Shirley Jones...

I know, right. An original MIL?.

Aha! You guys got my hat tip to The Partridge Family. I'll try to work a little tackiness into all my posts.

“Tear” wasn’t a Freudian slip, was it?

No, but this is:

No, but this is:

Wouldn't we all have a super ego if we had Sigmund's fantastic Homburg?

If it looked as good on us as it looks on him, probably. I'd have to try it on first.

Great photo! Doesn’t look like a homburg though.

I gotta lot to learn, the center dent doesn't make it a Homburg? Would you consider it more of a Fedora? I see the little pinches on the crown....

No worries, I’m still learning too. The center dent “gutter crown” is the most common crease for a homburg, but it isn’t a defining characteristic. Side dents or pinches can also be found in homburgs and fedoras. All homburgs will have a bound brim (ribbon binding on the brim edge) and the brim will be curled. There’s a thread called The Homburg Nation you can look through for lots of examples.

I think you left off a letter. When the show was first on, Susan Dey was my crush. as I got older, I came to appreciate Ms. Jones even more.


It's like Gilligan's Island. I used to debate over Ginger vs. MaryAnn. But the older I get, the better Mrs. Howell looks.

Thanks the the explanation. Wahhh, all my own center dents don't comply. I gotta get me a real Homburg with the ribbon stitched curled brim. Thanks again!

The Borsalino came in today. A littlebit too small, so i'll try to stretch it a littlebit. Hope this will help.... fingers crossed. The felt is very soft and has no spots. Looks new.
Only the lining inside seems to be not correctly made. View attachment 421677 View attachment 421678 View attachment 421679 View attachment 421680

Lovely hat, Marcel. Apparently quality control didn't check the liner

Yeah, but "Mom I'd Like to Have Dinner With" takes too long to type.

Y'know, when I was much younger I thought Natalie Schafer was quite a bit older than she actually was, which was the intent. But as I got older, I was still attracted to Mary Ann first and foremost.

Despite the joke, yeah...Mary Ann all day long.

I’m not sure where to go with that Lovey

Sure the age old question of Ginger or Maryann, but wouldn't it be more fitting here to discuss either Skipper or Gilligan's HAT? What is your preference?

I think I'd like to see more of Mr. Howell's Panama Plantation hat in the back.

 

[Frunobulax]

Not really a Plantation, I guess, but it's a pretty cool hat anyway.

Yep. The Panama, hands down.
