The Curled Brim is a Hidden Stitch Over Welt. Such Hats were common in Germany (also other parts of Central Europe) in this time period.

I notice that in a lot movies, it never really took off in the states. I prefer it over the homburg's signature ribbon piping.

Homburg's had / have a Raw Cut Brim with Binding. Not a Blind Stitch Over Welt.

Here is another example of a Curled Brim Blind Stitch Over Welt from the same time period. J. Hückel´s Söhne "Loden".

This style of soft felt hat was very popular in the US. Unfortunately, few samples remain after 100 plus years.

More I think about, when viewing the 20s and 30s movies I realize those weren't homburgs all along. Those were these hats. Wow!

I am assuming this also around 5.5cm? I notice this is common width for hats on the 10s and 20s

The Band on this JHS "Loden" is also 5.5 cm. The width would be common with Hats of similar Type + Crown height.

Thanks for the reply. It appears to go well with the high crowns because it gives it a nice balance.
