Homburg Nation

[Joshbru3]

Just catching up with this thread, Josh that Stetson is awesome-looking and looks great on.
I like the creases you put in.

Thank you hatophile! Much appreciated. Every day that I look at the hat, I love it more and more.

Now THATS a Homburg!! I have got to get one like that. That bowler curl on the brim is amazing. Is your Homburg from the early 30's?

Thanks! I got another one, a grey Knox Superfine Homburg.. I could not guestimate the age of this hat, other forum members are welcome to give it a try..

Wow, I especially like the dark brown one you're wearing Cat, a great casual look with a homburg!

 

[mayserwegener]

Super! Is this one from Raleigh Habadashers Washington, DC?

Yes it is!

Hate to dissapoint you, but it's the same as the black one.. so.. it's not brown, unfortunately (that would be the colour of my choice really).

That's a lovely homburg! I can't say I approve of the side dents, but to each his own. I wear a homburg daily and like them to be more rigid (able to withstand any object that may come near my dear head). You wear it very well.

You and Billy Spew! Best homburgs I've seen worn on the FL. All the rules about what you have to wear with it, are obviated by you wearing it. Congratulations on wearing a hat without affectation, which is often worn by others with much less of a natural appearance.

How much do I admire that hat. I have a homburg but the brim curls quite markedly at the sides. I note that your brim is almost flat. Is there a way of "flattening" the brim on a homburg?

 

[alanfgag]

Great hat that looks great on you. I'm not sure why homburgs are not more popular... but I'll hush before the ebay action heats up.

 

[Alan-Eby]

I'm going to have an old western hat converted into a homburg style!! It might not work out in the end but the hat was cheap enough for me to not mind messing it up, or ending up with an interesting hat!!!

Mayser Homburg

Mayser Homburg, brown, size 60cm. This one is really nice with beautiful liner. I am thinking mid 1950s maybe a bit older. Another one from Kramer of Frankfurt / Main.

P. & C. Habig Homburg + Hat Box

P. & C. Habig Homburg, black, size 58cm with original store box. This one is from 1957 and in very good condition. Original hat box from the store that sold it.

I got my Cellini Homburg today.

It was a little misshapen and dusty, but that was cleaned up by a brush and steam.

I really like the bow.

Here are the interior shots:

and a noggin shot.

Still working on the brim to get it to smile like a homburg should. This will definitely be my formal hat.

Yeps, Very nice Homburg! What about the Barbisio size tag? I think Besdor (Steve) from Bencraft Hats might be able to help with this one.

Thanks. Here is the size tag. I forgot about this when I was loading it up.

The tag under the sweat also says Barbisio on it, but I can't get a good picture.

 

[mayserwegener]

Very interesting. I wonder what the Cellini - Barbisio connection is? As far as I know Barbisio was out of Italy. Does the other Barbisio tag have any additional information?
