Hats and Beanies

Thanks to whoever it was that answered my Homburg question with the Fedora Lounge link, I was able to find and snag this at a steal. 100% pure beaver fur body would have retailed for $250, picked up on ebay new with tags and box for $40. These are usually considered a step up from standard fedoras, but I will likely still wear it casual, maybe even with my tassel loafers

I've had this hat for a few weeks now, but I'm really impressed with the quality. I bought it in Nashville from Otis James, it's completely handmade and has great details

Purchased a newsboy cap from this site several years ago and it’s really nice… hand spun, hand woven, all traditionally made by an excellent (some say legendary) craftsman, etc…

This is the “black” tweed

The vibrancy and use of color is the best of any tweed I've personally seen. love this hat…

[natehate]

how did you find sizing?

[4c]

Went by the tag size I.E. 7 ¼ which is 23 ¼ inches… Next to the size on the website it shows inches and CM so if you don’t know your hat size measure your head with a piece of string and go with that measurement.

[natehate]

oh i have numerous tweed caps (go back a few pages hahaa)
it's just not all companies are the same
even with in the same numbers hats can be different

[4c]

Yes you do! very nice hats natehate. see what you mean about sizing.. best way to go than is to measure your head and go by inches IMO.

This is the most uncomfortable hat I've ever worn! It's a traditional, hard shell bowler that hasn't been conformed to my head, so it's short front-to-back and digging in.

It's from Patey Hats, the only people who still make them that way. And I'll have to take @Trail and Arrow there hat-shopping next time he's in London.

My new lid from Ideal Cap Co, big thanks to RBG for the tip on a great quality cap.
