Finished homburg in dark grey velour on display. It's part of a collection I've made for the new brand (Misui) of a luxury shop in Barcelona (Union Suiza).

Custom Hat Liners?
Hi Ginseng, Thank you! It's medium weight jacquard style fabric, has enough body to stand on its own, so I only do a tack stitch at CF and CB and it stays neatly in place. I made the pattern out of the hat block. Cristina Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Hi again mayserwegener, You're a wealth of information and I appreciate you taking the time to talk this over with me. Thank you also for sharing the sources for the ribbon. That Hückel Weilheim Exklusiv is a beauty. I'm in awe at that curl... really?!! how on earth did they manage that... -
Homburg Nation
Thank you Mayserwegener for the amazing reply. You might have nailed it with the type if ribbon, I have used milliners grosgrain that has a ribbed edge and lots of stretch (allowing it to curl), I will try with hatters ribbon (no ribbed edge) that has less give. I do like the edge bound panama... -

Hello everyone, I need your assistance regarding the brim binding on homburgs. Those of you who own a vintage one, would you say the brim is wired to preserve the tightness of the curl? Or is it just stiffened to death? I'm having some issues with the binding staying nice and taught. Thanks in... -
