John's is almost a "reversed" standard homburg binding. Except for the visible stitching, that ususally goes all through the brim (visible on both sides) if machine-sewn. Other traditional homburgs sport a handsewn binding without visible stitches on any of the sides - like the bindings you see on bowlers.
Yes but it has a similar look at the brim edge. I don't believe I have a standard Homburg binding without visible stitching (I might have seen one at the Novy Jicin Museum). Would be interested in seeing an example.
