Thanks guys. The Brim is 2 1/2 inches. I went to a fashion expo and all the homburgs from the 1920's suited me much better than those from the later eras. I have settled that 2 1/2 inches is the best brim width for me, on fedoras and homburgs.

IMHO Ron O' Neil in Superfly had as much style as Cary Grant, the 72 Eldog, and the Divinely Funkay soundtrack from Curtis helped. I bet you Cary Grant could not pull that "lean" off as well. If you got Funk you got Style!
That is my favorite era of men's fashion besides the 30's. I think womens clothing from the 20's is the sexiest. I nominate the late 90's as the worst era.
