It's a Soft Felt Brim Up hat with a over welt + some type of brim curl + flange which was common in the time period (1920s, earlier). Homburg Hat is an American term that was used to describe the style (changed crown form over time) hat Edward VII brought back from Bad Homburg, Germany. Fedora is also an American term and in the time period (1920s, earlier) there wasn't much difference between a Homburg and a Fedora. There are some threads here that cover this in more detail. I like to use Hat Production terms like Soft Fur / Wool Felt Hat with Snap Brim and Soft Fur / Wool Felt with Curled Brim (just translate words).Not a Homburg, Wayne? Can the brim flip down to be a Fedora? Looks more Homburg than Fedora. Either way, it is a beautiful hat, and your elegant style captures its ellegence so very well.
