Very nice St. Regis, interesting color. This hat may have gone in for some work sometime in it's life and the existing tags may have not survived. Just one theory.

Thanks. That’s what I’m hearing the most, seems plausible. I wasn’t really worried, just wanted to find them under there for a little more date-indicating info.
Ah I see, well, I might as well just make my own designed ribbons. Won't be vintage grosgrain, but sure beats polyester any day. Thanks for your help!

Job well done, I'd say! Saved another one and it was worth saving.

This wasn’t what I was looking for, but I’m a sucker for long hairs. This Biltmore Peluche is on its way:

Picked up a few hats this saturday. Two of them homburgs. Had to leave a few what could have been nice finds behind as well (a few pre-war Hückel-hat, that were just to bad a shape). Anyway. Wegener homburg in grey, size 56. Later model, probably seventies. More taper and rounded form to the 10,5 cm crown and a shorter brim (5,5cm).

Will do Stefan. I hope I like it as much as I think I will.
I think you will, Brent. Can't say I would trade with you otherwise, because I believe we are six sizes apart!
Another one of the saturday pick-up. Hückel (Welheim production) in grey (Mercur grau on the inside sweatband) in a size 57. Made for Globus. There were several Hückel homburg hats in the vintage store I got this one from and I believe three of them were pre-war. All of them in black and too damaged or soiled to bring along unfortunately. This one is nice though. Brim at 5cm and crown at 10cm at the pinch. Liner is still stitched in, so my guess would be early to mid-sixties.

Very nice hat, Stefan. What does the D.G.M. mean on the size tag?
Jim, thank you. I confess I don't really know for sure. My best guess (had to look it up) is it stands for Deutsche Gesellschaft Materialkunde (German Society for Material Science) which exists since 1919 as an institution for combining scientific knowlegde about materials with practical use in manufacture and business. Steve will know if that is indeed what it stands for on this label.

Two very nice homburgs you found Stefan. Just how bad were those pre-WWII hats, worth saving at all? Love the colors on both of these examples. I understand that Globus is a department store chain? My black Hückel Chamois was sold from a Globus store.

Very nice, Deadly. Biltmore knows how to make a long hair. That particular model In a Canadian made Biltmore homburg is hard to find.

Just pickup this up, it’s got a sloppy Fedora bash in it but I think it qualifies for the H nation. Moore’s of London from 1959. I love the union stamp under the sweat.... It literally looks and feels like an old postage stamp. I bet there’s a story or explanation there...
I love the look and condition, but I have now learned the hard way on this that England has or had it’s own sizing. If pads under the sweat don’t make this fit, it might be hitting the classified section.

Great find! Many German market hats from this time have English Brand names but this is a real one and of high quality. 
Yes the size would be 7 3/8 US or 59cm.
