Thank you sir! I had not seen the listing until last night and when I saw it was pretty close to my size/vintage it took me about 15 seconds to make a bid on it, lol! Now to figure out how to sneak it in past the wife....

Well I am definitely going to be in trouble after this one, lol. After a few months of searching for a vintage Homburg I had kind of given up. I decided to take one last look after some advice and being inspired by @blueAZNmonkey. Very late last night I stumbled upon a Stetson St Regis listed for sale without a size. Luckily in the description it mentioned it should be in between a 7 1/2 and 7 5/8 which is perfect for me. I put an offer of $91 (was listed at $145) on it to make it an even $100 with shipping and I awoke this morning to the sellers acceptance. I really like the looks of this hat and hope I did ok on the price. It was listed as a 1950s Stetson St Regis and appears to be in great shape!

Great looking hat. Classic homburg. Fabiovenhorst has one just like it (if it isn't exactly the same). A little mothing can be expected sometimes with vintage hats. You did well.

I think you're out of luck there if you don't have any homburgs in your collection already this one is really going to stand out haha.

Lounge members would notice for sure, but non-hat people aren't likely to see anything, short of another hat...

Welcome to the world of Homburgs. You will look so good under this one. It does have a 50s look to the innards. Can't wait for noggin shots! Catching up is hard! Missed this original post.

Thank you very much Mike! I'm sure excited for it.

Here is a very interesting Mallory derby I drunkenly stumbled across last night after a 14 hour extravaganza at the office. It appears to be a more turn of the century/western style and much older than I am used to seeing. Not to mention a little more rare in a 7 5/8 size for its age/vintage. I really like the hat and it has some super cool NW history as it was sold new out of Portland OR according to the sweat. Curious what others think of this hat?

Thank you guys! I wasn't planning on buying another hat so soon but the seller agreed to my offer of $85 so what the heck! Surprise

Thank you Bob. I have a MTM three piece Prince of Wales Golden Fleece suit being finished up at Brooks Brothers and I am thinking it would be perfect with that along with a pocket watch and chain. Give it that turn of the century vintage vibe

This derby has interesting lines. Can't wait to see whats under the sweat. I did some quick searching on the vendor, a small hit with a newspaper from 1920. The page comes up but I will have to enlarge to see the ad, it must be small. There is a possibility I can find it in a Portland Business Directory at the archives. I'll keep on this one. It is an old one based on the sweat, the liner should show the later 1800s date. One hit on Robinson's does not include the Dilworth, but maybe promising.

Thanks for doing some research on her Mike! I was hoping you might be able to help on this one. These things sure are fun/addicting to try and date and figure out their mysteries Does this photo help at all? It was the last one on the listing.

Mallory used the E.A. Mallory & Sons name until 1920 based on ad research. We have only seen a few of these on the lounge.

Well. I was surfing through the bay last night and decided to make an account and attempt to learn the process of biding, etc. I've bought cars at auto auction before, so I am not totally green , but I have not utilized eBay as many of my cycling buddies have.

I bid on a Resistol Stagecoach that looks good with some need of cleaning and personal touch. I have an idea of what I would like to do with it, and it will be for a learning experience in many ways.

Raises coffee mug...here to new experiences!
