Question of a German Fedora Newbie

[DocRock]

Hello,

I am out looking for a online store who will get me in touch with my desired fedora. As we do not have any hatters nor local hat stores around my greater neighbourhood and German online stores will only sell me Trilbys with a decent lack of height, I would try my luck with your expertised knowledge.

Actually I am looking for a fedora like Kid Rock wears them.
Like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5McYO4Utgzc
or over here: http://www.fem.com/fileadmin/content/articles/stars/small/MTV-Awards-Kid-Rock.jpg
Once I found one of a similar kind and it was a Homburger 'Gangsta' style cause it was pink and has a feather. But it is only available in pink.

So maybe someone of you could help me along with that kind of prob.

Thank you very much

Maybe something like this?

Welcome, the first example may be a felt hat but the second is a straw.
Here is a pretty close one I think.
It is in several colors... none pink.

As far as I know (and this was a few years, ok maybe over ten years ago) Kid rock had a contract with Biltmore hats. With that said Biltmore still makes some hats for Miller hats. So, long story short http://millerhats.com/homburg_index/homburgindex.html

Marc Kitter of www.adventurebiltdeluxe.com is in Germany. Might want to look him up. He is top of the line hatter in my book.

Hello,

thanks to all suggestions.

Kid Rock leather style is except it's naming far from my examples.
Adeventurebilt in Germany sorryly far too way above my spending limits (~700$)

I'll give Miller a try for to see if a hat suits me. Yet not realy knowing what to look for: Milan or Homburger.

We'll see maybe Miller can help me on.

Thanks to everyone.

Found it in US

Hello,

thanx again for all suggestions. Finally found a seller on US Ebay. With a suitable price for me to check out if a hat is right for me at all.

Thanx again.

Howdy Folks,

you guys wanted a pic when my new arrived Fedora was in use. Today I wore it on a premiere party over here in Germany. Just a quick kitchen shot after coming home. But you'll get an idea ;-)

Took me a while to get myself confirmed wearing a hat is cool. In German there's a maxim which rhymes in German: "Für n Hut braucht man Mut" (like: You need guts for a hat ;-))

BTW: ebay ~25$ ;-)

Thanx for your help once again.

Yes, it does.
