I'm never on auction sites. I rely on you, Stefan, and Daniele to find hats I can't [emoji4]I'm sure you do. Beware of boredom and internetaccess at the same time; I'm actually glad I lost a few of the auctions I was active in today!
Modern Barbisio Homburg. There is no paper label under the the sweat. I had to ask Mr. GooGoo what Lapin Felt was! This rabbit has a real nice soft feel. I like this one!
Thanks! Yeah cool hat. Not Poshmark though. eBayIs that a Poshmark hat? It looks like one I made an offer on but the seller and I couldn’t agree on a price. Looking at your photos I regret not buying it. Well done!

Good get, Rich. Barbisio is a top maker. Even their modern ones were very good hats.

They're getting better and better, Mikael. The first one even has some reverse taper.oh, Sven Homburg by Hufvud.

This is my favorite for colors combination and the shape is really interesting.oh, Sven Homburg by Hufvud.

It looks great too, despite its mystery. I can almost feel the softness of the velour. A post 1993 Czech hat, obviously. Possibly this century. Strange there's no maker's mark apart from the Tonak/Czech type crest.A mystery Czech purchase that remains a mystery. It has an overwelt brim sans binding so not technically a homburg, but it doesn’t “feel” like a lords hat either. The velour is soft, but the felt has a stiff core somewhere between a western and dress hat. Fits true to size and after some brushing, steam, and 30 minutes on a block to make it more of a long oval, it feels great.

Very nice, Brent. It may not be a full on homburg, but it is a really cool hat whatever you might call it.A mystery Czech purchase that remains a mystery.

Some great Homburgs/Lobbias posted today Stefan, particularly this last one. Super colour.Borsalino Lobbia in brown. The label inside the hat gives no information and comparing the colour didn't give an exact match. It's a bit lighter than the Caffe and somewhat less saturated than the Folco, but it's closest to these. Let's just call it Marrone. I'm fairly certain it's a Gulaela model, with the brim at a good 5,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the pinch. Qualitá extra superiore. It doesn't like the pinches and only takes the shallowest of these. The sweatband has some texturing, which is seen more often on earlier models.
