Okay, me was told, a Windsor has a lower crown with pinches and a Homburg has a taller crown, no pinches and center creased. Churchill always wears a Homburg. A Windsor is typical british, so many people in the british goverment disliked the hatchoice of Churchill. If this all is true, i don't know :)
That sounds like great stuff for a movie, Pellie. I might start writing the screenplay [emoji4]

Rest assured, you have a Homburg.

In the front and back it's 6cm, and on the sides it's 5cm. (I don't know in inches).
It looked to me as if the brim was bound, if not, Brent has found the possible solution. Your Cauly could well be a Lord's hat. It's a Homburg without a brim binding. If it is, you should steam and curl the brim a bit.

My 1930s Lord's hat.

If yours is a Lord's hat, and it could well be, then the brim has flattened. Give it some steam and curl it as you will.

A Lord's hat is more or less a Homburg without a bound brim.

Does the homburg always have a wide brim binding, Steve, or do some have the smaller binding?
