Thanks! I also thought it was a cool find (for Norwegian standards) so I was more prone to take the risk despite the moth damage and size uncertainty. I will post it there too soonGreat find! It's an early VEB Vereinigte Hutwerke Guben (DDR). Can you post it in the German and Austrian thread when you have a chance?

I have been tempted to try a homburg for a while. But, my wife has always expressed that she doesn't care for the way a homburg looks on me. Well to quote John Wayne as Hondo Lane, "A man oughta do what he thinks is best." So in the next week or so I'm picking up a couple of Knox Superfine homburgs locally. Thought I'd give them a try a few times and if I don't like them I'll pass them on. Hopefully they will have found a new home. I have put a self imposed limit of 52 felts on myself. So either way I will have to lose two felts in the next few months. Here are seller's pictures.

Yet another nice Knox Homburg, Bill.
Almost forgot i had this Cavanagh Homburg. Messing around with center crease v. diamond. View attachment 180449 View attachment 180450 View attachment 180451 View attachment 180452 View attachment 180453
I was thinking the exact same thing.I’m not sure how you could forget such a hat! Surprisingly, I like it better with the diamond crease. I think it looks better with the side dents that gives that hat some structure and a more casual vibe.

Bill, these homburgs are really, really nice
Very nice, Doug. You could mix them up: center dent with side pinches (it's what I'd do).Almost forgot i had this Cavanagh Homburg. Messing around with center crease v. diamond. View attachment 180449 View attachment 180450 View attachment 180451 View attachment 180452 View attachment 180453

I’m with Stefan on this. At least with the brown one i have that looks halfway decent on me. A center dent then a front pinch like your last pic Doug and the center dent kinda morphs to a modified diamond. Least mine did. LolVery nice, Doug.
