Great wide ribbon and bow treatment, Jonathan. Interesting contrast to the colour of the felt and brim binding.

MArvelous. These Knox hats always have such a presence.

My Akubra homburg (inside)
What l find odd is that they use a cheap PVC plastic,so it doesn't give me confidence in what that white lining may be.
Does any know what materials they use in this hat and why they use clear plastic in the center?
(green kitchen sponge under the headband at the moment)
My Bates homburg
Does anyone know what material the lining is?
The Bates is really comfortable and soft, like it was made for me. The Akubra is o.k in comfort, but nothing like the bates, and it is much harder.
The bowler l tried on didn't fit the shape of my head at all.

I’ve posted this before, but it is a bit cleaner now. Charter House for Juster Brothers of Minneapolis. Based on what appears to be a Hat Corporation of America factory label and a $5.00 price I’m guessing early 1940s. Nice crown height. I found an ad for the Charter House store brand going back to 1930.

Thanks Joe! I like it a lot, but it is just a bit snug. The brim distorts when I try to make it work.

The condition, the tall crown, the color, the reedless sweatband! It just keeps going!

Thanks Brent! If it would just go up a size.
This would be the hat that would tempt me to send it to Randall for one of his magical size changes…not that he’d thank me for sending an unreeded sweatband project his way.

A couple years ago this is a hat that Max would have been all over. I miss those heady days. Where are hanging out these days @drmaxtejeda ?
Late posting this one but here is a new favorite, courtesy of @Rmccamey. I love the reddish brown hue of this Milano Homburg. This brim has that slight downward swoop in front and back to give it a little western flare.
Randy saved me from a bad deal and misrepresentation on the bay and then hooked me up with this one! Thank you, sir!

Cool specimen, classic shape. I'm wearing a similar Style Park brand to work on Monday.

Nice. I just picked up a Pan Pacific Exposition medal Stetson. I'll get a few more pics tomorrow.
