over your side of pond they are called Derbys. Here they are bowlers(originally as the first made were by a firm called Bowler) Derby because they were originally for horseracing jockeys, and were worn at derbys etc.Originally Posted by alphaGT
I bought this bowler to wear on stage, but it’s such a nice hat, Australian wool, I wear it a lot in Winter. Sorry, the only pic I’ve got.
Oops, found another pic, not as flattering

A homburg is in between, then there is a trilby and the porkpie versions. Panamas of course, which really should be proper made from toquilla straw, and really should be called Ecuador hats as thats where they come from...
just some irrelevant facts lol.. not got a derby or homburg; nor a porkpie for that matter but do have trilbys

I am quite envious of guys who can look good in hats, but not when they are driving - there's something about hats that seem to make motorists into knobs, and that includes yoofs who drive wearing baseball caps.
Pining for the fjords? What kind of talk is that? And why did he fall flat on his back the minute I got him home?

Ya caught me! Actually, the picture of me on stage was a Halloween party. I paid good money for a long tailed tux jacket, “Derby”, and round glasses. As it turned out, all the girls wanted to pose for a picture with me! So I guess it was worth it.Are you going for the cousin it look Russel ?
