Well we're here for the homburgs, so here's one I haven't posted before. That's not to say I haven't posted one like this before, because I have (I have two of these). Stetson Imperial homburg in black. Size 56 (6 7/8). Bound brim at 6cm and crown 10cm at the pinch. Made under license in England. These hats were made by Failsworth of Stockport. Fantastic quality hat. If I have my dating right this one is made somewhere between 1955 and 1965. Failsworth still exists, but makes mostly caps now and nothing near the quality they used to make.

Hückel Weilheim "Derby", 58cm probably later 1950s. I really like the form and high side dents. Also really like the ribbon felt color contrast. Hückel Weilheim made fantastic looking Homburgs.

Huckel has a particular shape of their homburgs, it is no doubt, but the colors of the felt, the trimmings and ribbon to conquer me

Here's another one I posted in the Borsalino Brotherhood thread. Borsalino Export Qualität in grey, size 57.The colour is called Uranio (Uranium) on the label. Bound brim at 5 cm and crown at 10,5cm in front. Lined with transparant covering of the crown patch (unsure about the material). Liner states Qualitá Speciale. Sold by Ernst of Köln and Bonn. This one is a bit later (sixties or early seventies). Even though size 57 Borsalinos usually fit me, this one is a bit too wide for me (damn). Haven't put any side dents in this one yet.

Posted this one in the Borsalino brotherhood thread as well. Borsalino Export Qualität homburg in brown, size 58.The colour is called Dattero on the label. Bound brim at 6 cm and crown at 11 cm in front. Lined with what used to be onionskin covering of the crown patch (only parts of that remain alas, because that stuff is really fragile). Liner states Qualitá Superiore. Sold by Specialhaus Globus. Mid fifties to early sixties. Great looking hat and if the last parts of the onionskin covering are removed a nice and clean liner remains.

Very nice Stefan. I'm a sucker for a brown Homburg.
