Well ... apparently I never applied for membership in the Homburg Nation. Please accept my apologies and kindly consider my application.

This might help as well ...

 

[PanosChris]

It is beautiful, Panos. It does appear to have some taper to the crown though, which I would not expect from a hat of that vintage.

Thanks Stefan, indeed that surprised me too I must say. Not sure if that's the case with others who bought that one or mine has shrunk.

Thanks my friend, you definitely have an eye for watches too

 

[Héctor Fernández]

I own a Super Avenger 2 and immediately recognized the logo. I like the fact they can be worn formally or informally.

Even one of them does it for me Bob! Welcome

 

[Steve1857]

No apologies necessary, Bob. You were always one of equals in the Nation as your wonderful lids show

Ooh, watches. Nicely seen Héctor. Had to go back and see it. Cudos, Panos!

Is there a Watch Lounge?

 

[Héctor Fernández]

There's a few dedicated watch threads, but nothing with daily traction like the Hat sub forum.

1930s Stetson Special:

I figured you were a long standing resident already, Bob. And you were of course, but it wasn't official yet. That's a special one for sure; I only ever see Stetson St. Regis homburgs. Very nice (as is the Borsalino, but that one I know!)

 

[PanosChris]

Very nice Panos

Thanks Joe !

Actually the early Edward VII Homburgs had highly tapered crowns. This was common for early European Curled Brim Soft Felts.

Thanks for the input Steve ! I supposed it's 30's but maybe even earlier

 

[Rmccamey]

You make quite a splash when you join a group, Bob. Both hats look fabulous!

That Borsalino seems like it was MADE for the movies.
As soon as I saw it I pictured a tommy gun.
What a great hat!

Chris, Yes it could be a bit older. It's a great hat!

Echter Mayser homburg in grey. Size 58 with the brim at a good 5,5cm and the crown at 11cm at the center dent. A few nicks but it seems hardly ever worn (basting stitches are still on the ribbon). No label under the sweat, so not much to go on. Joh Schnell Nachf. of Koblenz was founded in 1806 (!) and is still around today. The sweatband mentions its 150th anniversary, which would make it 1956, but the sweatband is dated 19-12-1961, which usually means the selling date. Could have sat on the shelf for 5 years, but who would leave a good looking hat like this there? Interesting that the liner is already glued in on this one (German manufacturers did that very early on).

That's a beauty, Stefan. There's something about those basting stitches that says the hat is almost untouched. I love it too when I find a jacket with un-picked pockets. They're like off the shelf new

The third of the recently acquired hats from Stefan. I believe it deserves its place in the Nation.
