That is one amazing hat! and that box..... incredible. Great purchase , Moon. I like the crease you chose as well. Perfection!

Remind you of anybody...?

"YES...if you'll wear a hat this time." Really?

It probably was an early version of "you can keep your hat on"!

Like the others have said, Anthony: that hat is incredible. It just has everything. Speechless.

GREAT hat but that box is out of the park! "YES . . if you'll wear a hat this time" is awesomeness! What a piece of hat/fashion history!

I think we've seen that in a magazine ad, too.

Yeh. "Penthouse."

...and he should have replied:
"Sure, if you don't wear undies."

Sure and that's exactly what he said...

I was partial to the classier "Swank."

You are now my arch-nemesis. LOL I was after this hat also. But if I couldn’t have it I’m glad you’re the one who snagged it. Congratulations!

That color! A mix between teal and emerald. Scrumptious.

Sometimes luck is on your side. Browsing through a big crate of hats last friday I found this: a Lee homburg in navy blue. Judging by the limited number of pages in this thread they are not that common and on this side of the pond they are virtually non-existant. More luck: it is in like new condition and it is in my size. Brim at 6,5 cm and crown 11,5 cm at the pinch (I pinched it). Without further ado: Lee blue label (no model name on the sweatband and there never was one).

Thanks, Hatman! I couldn't believe my eyes really when I dug it out of the pile.
