Thank you very much Daniele. It's a bit larger than a fascinator but a bit smaller than a propper hat, so I'd say it's a cocktail hat. It's American, from the late 1950s.

Today almost became a miserable boring hat day, but then this black borsalino homburg happened:

It was made for the German market, perhaps the little brother of the one @mayserwegener wore the other day? Here are a couple of quick pictures, if I have time later I will take some better ones for the borsalino thread...

Everybody's looking good again today :)
That's a good happening!

Thanks everyone for the comments and likes on yesterday's Tumwater. Tony makes some great hats and he is a master of bows.

Here's another this morning, Silverbelly Tumwater.

Somehow, Tumwater wasn't on this noobs list of "must haves". I put it there yesterday thanks to your post.

With all the custom hatters out there, I'm wondering if I'll ever buy an Akubra or modern Stetson. Oh, I would wear one with pride if I received it as a gift, but when I'm laying out my cash I really get the hankering for commissioning artworks to wear.

I have a gift card from Amazon. Odd thing is I am considering using it towards a hat from a lesser known (quality?) Polish manufacturer, Sterkowski. Maybe part of me is just rooting for the little guy, maybe it's the math where I'm comparing the value of 3/8 Sterkowski v. 5/8 Campdraft. Maybe I am crazy...never mind, that was settled long ago.

OMG Matt, you just gave me one of those "great hat strokes" that Michael had. You are promoting an epidemic on the lounge. I'm drooling...not on that hat of course. Is that a 3" brim, it looks super wide? This one made my day!
