My favorite thing about these hats aside from the obvious incredible finishes are the amazing interiors. It's too bad they are hidden from view while wearing. Thanks for the update Steve

Daniele, Thank you! I like that one too. I will wear it on Monday.
Mike, Thanks too! I agree about the liners and sweatbands.
Mike, Thanks too! I agree about the liners and sweatbands.
As requested: Hückel "standard" in heathered grey, made for A. Breiter Munich. Not exactly a homburg, but a curled brim early dress hat. Size 5 1/2 (58 european), with a 6cm brim and 11cm crown at the pinch. Reeded sweatband (some damage there, with the reed sticking through the reedband in places). Nice clean liner and unstitched double bow (no signs of it ever having been stitched to the hat). Gorgeous soft felt with an overwelt edge that has been worked into a D'Orsay curl. The hat takes on a wonderful swooping curve if you put it on.

Bravo!! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing again, steur!
My pleasure, gentlemen. I do hope to find more of hats like this of course but you do need a lot of luck to find any. It does make me wonder though where a hat like this was all that time.
