TB i love hats, too. i actually wear all kinds of hats whenever i feel the moods, and it's mainly when i just want to look really, really cool, or tomboyish. i googled the'homburg'and it's so great how that brim sort of flips up like a wave, i love it. it's such an 'im an asshole, fuck you' type of hat. i want one now. (btw, i'm going to quote you on my next post re: that hat history tidbit you wrote up there).

Mark, speaking about uncles, my grandfather's younger brother, my dear uncle (may he rest in peace) used to dress so beautifully. he was the only one in our family who would still wear fedoras and newsboys out to work or anywhere outside- with cashmere sweaters and button ups and then tweed slacks. i miss him so much man. but i do have 2 things of his, a watch which is worn out and i haven't changed the battery because i just don't feel like it yet- and a fedora of his, which still has a little TINY red feather in it.
