PH. Möckel Hutfabrik, Homburg vor der Höhe Velour, from the Gotisches Haus (Gothic House) Bad Homburg , Germany hat collection, probably 1920s maybe earlier. PH. Möckel made the original Homburg hat for Edward VII. This is the only soft felt I have encountered so a rare one. With a good brush and steam it would light right up.

Bad Homburg Hut (Hat)



Steve.....my word...both of those hats are unreal!! I LOVE the bow work on the bad homburg hat, and that Derby....WOW!!!!

I am in love with that tall and square crown coupled with the wide ribbon. Wide ribbon derbies are rare to begin with, so are square crown derbies....toss in the short brim and that derby might very well be the most beautiful and rare derby I have ever seen.
