Bah Homburg

Post by schwammy »

I bought a Homburg on ebay, which hasn't arrived yet, and I'm wondering: is it possible to bash a homburg into a fedora and wear it that way without altering the bound brim edge? I think Fedora said he bought an HJ Homburg but altered it by removing that ribbon. Contrary to conventional wisdom, I kind of enjoy a good bound brim now and again.

Before anyone asks, yes, he can, since HE was the one who purchased the hat.

So if you still have the link, please post it! :D

Regards!

Someone needs to sneek in and replace Fedoras blocks with some blocks with style! Maybe a porkpie, or a top hat... :wink: :D

Well, yes, I can post the link, but I'm really annoyed now because the hats (two of them) arrived, and they're not even close to the right size. She said size 62, when in fact they're size 58. I'm guessing she measured around the outside of the brim, rather than the inside. I sent her an email but she hasn't replied. Not good.

Well wait till getting worried for no replies. Add her to your favourite sellers so you know if she puts new objects.

Shame for the size, well you should be able to send them back or put them for sale, maybe someone would be interested :wink:
