Thanks Fruno!That's a great pick up, moe. Congrats.
Sent directly from my mind to yours.
In the last display of homburgs this is my favourite!P. & C. Habig Wien "Export Qualität", 59cm, probably late 1950s. This is a NOS from Hut Brömme Nürnberg. Unique color with contrasting band and binding.
Daniele, Thanks! I have to agree.In the last display of homburgs this is my favourite!
I Like mostly the color cand the contrasting ribbon and its fantastic shape.
Super find Steve!
NICE FIND!!! Now you just need to find one in size 60 that you are willing to let go of and we can talk againP. & C. Habig Wien "Export Qualität", 59cm, probably late 1950s. This is a NOS from Hut Brömme Nürnberg. Unique color with contrasting band and binding.
There is a lot to love about this Homburg. That bow is a nice touch. I'm wondering, do European "Homburgs" have a different style of brim (not as wide) than domestic ones. My Barbisio has these dimensions as well. Compared to my Mallory and Knox Homburgs that have brims that are a good 1/2" wider. Probably a dumb question, but I was curious.P. & C.

Misto is referred to a mixed felt not the color.I always thought misto referred to the mixed colour and not to the mix of felt. This one does not feel coarse at all, so I never thought of a mixed felt.
Thanks! You see different brim widths on European Homburg like hats. In general the brims become smaller as you move into the later 1950s and beyond.There is a lot to love about this Homburg.

Thanks too! Really fantastic Borsalino. Here are a couple 1929 date stamped Echter Borsalinos for comparison.Another great find and another one to add to Mayserwegeners long long list of beautiful hats. Never seen a bad Habig hat; always great quality. A good thing Hut Brömme hangs on to its old stock. Sometimes all you need to do is ask if there is any...
It might be late 1920s although my guess is bit later. Regardless it's a great hat!Thanks for the extra information and the comment. I had seen the last one, with the separate size stamp, before on your site. I used that one as a reference point thinking a written one would be earlier. So twenties is more likely then. Good to know.
Beautiful.Stanton "Exclusive", 58cm probably 1980s. This was made for / by F. W. Schneider Cologne (now owns Stetson Europe) . I believe the Rockel "Exquisit" liner was added a later time because the paper label has F.W.S Köln. I would like to thank Daniele for this fine Homburg!
