How lucky can you be to own this ca. 1950s Lembert Homburg and are spoilt for choice as to whether to wear it with a pinch or without? Answer, of course, very lucky.

That one has found a home in Copenhagen I'm afraid, but I have several candidates that could use a new horizon. I'll line a few of them up and send you a PM, Randy.
Sorry Randy, but I bagged that one a while back.
I believe this one deserves its place in the Nation. It arrived today from California via Brent.
A Knox Superfine Homburg. The quality of this hat speaks for itself. Its dimensions and proportions are, what I would call, so American.
The high crown, its chocolate brown colour, wide oval brim, eye catching semi wide ribbon, and large bow all add to the eye catching qualities of this Homburg.
Flip it over and the inside of it just attest to the super nature of its workmanship. Even the logo of the Hat Shop I presume it was sold in stand out.
You got a lot of hat for your $12.50 back then. I'm presuming 1950s. Knox experts, please feel free to put me right.
All in all, I couldn't be happier.
Thanks Brent.

Thanks, Reggie. You're absolutely right, Brent found a really nice one. So glad I managed to get hold of it first [emoji4]
Beautiful hat, Steve. Always a winning colour combination for me. While Wegener hats are plentiful on the vintage hat market, the older ones don't come up very often. Very nice find again.Wegener "Extra", 58 cm, possibly later 1940s early 1950s. I tend to think this one is older because of components. The felt is great and easily dry creases. There are some issues due to wear but nothing too bad.

Stefan, Thank you!

I picked this Cavanagh up last winter. It appears to be an early 50’s model. I like its bold features and elegant lines. The felt is soft, but substantial. Overall I am quite pleased with this homburg. I haven’t had an opportunity to wear it yet, but I plan to give it some head time this upcoming fall. I still haven’t blocked it yet, but after looking at Steve’s Wegener Extra I know what I am going to do with the crown.
