Weis in Hellgrau. A current favourite!

I need to start taking some streetlight shots.

Nice Weis.

How did your excellent quality strat survive the elements? Mine experienced a deluge of rain and it was not pretty.

Just a light dusting of snow on it, so no real test. I've been wanting to get this one weathered to see how it responds. What happened with yours?

Looks regal allright. More people joining the homburg nation; good!

Thank you, Stefan. I have about a half-dozen. I live on the outskirts of Homburg Nation, but do get into town now and again.

Still need a gray one.

The felt in the crown not only warped but shrunk. Air dried it inside away from heat and it still shrunk at least half an inch open crown.

Hey all!
The new Hückel is a generous size 58, and fits a little loose. So, I have no choice but to moisten the sweat and wear it till it conforms. That's as good an excuse to wear it as I need.:)

Have a great day!

I really like the hat's jaunty, foreshortened proportions, and it favors you-- a win!

Worth the wearing-in, I'd say. o_O

I made this fedora last week. We'll call it "Adventurer" style. Rabbit fur felt. The band is a removable type I also made. It's temporary until the proper ribbon arrives. I also made the liner and hand-sewed in the sweatband. Pounced to 1,000 grit paper. It's incredibly light. Very comfortable to wear.

Note: for the Indy fans, yes, the dimensions are very close, but not exact. That was done on purpose. I didn't want to attempt a copy and then fail lol. I burned it twice but it still needs some more distressing.


That is one fine hat. I can't see anything wrong with the band. It's a beautiful creation.

No hat yesterday. Well there was was, but no picture of it. But I got this: getting ready for the winter olympics (watching, not competing). Speedskating: the Dutch obsession. If the beard is longer I have been compared to papa smurf.

Today was the Moores homburg again (don't know why I look so grim).

I figured you would be in head to toe Orange for the next two weeks of Olympics! That Moores is a beauty. Perfect form.

Now THAT'S a straw-in-February smile if I ever saw one!
Nice new lid! If you get any more gills you might become amphibious.:)

Very sharp! Good to see you wearing it already!

Sweet. Wish it was straw weather here.:(

Thanks Mike.
That duplex is a fantastic looking hat. I'd have a big smile too if that were hanging in my house.

Love this hat Mike!

Very cool hat.Worth breaking the rules.

Hey Red:
I’d break a few rules with that one too! Enjoy the weird weather day. Great Gills! and “Ate” of em!! Love it!
Be well. Bowen

Okay, I want that hat. Send it now or the Adam gets it. Ha ha. That's a winner for sure.

The combination works pretty nice.

Cool one, Mike!
Because you can! Enjoy it, Mike!


Thank you everyone! I enjoyed a short foray into straw weather today. I'll be good now, putting this one away to at least the first sunny day in April.
