Knox Superfine Homburg

Brown brim binding makes this potentially VERY versatile! More on the Homburg Nation ...

Picked this up at a Goodwill store. It's in prestine condition. Anyone know the time period of this hat?


I don't know about the age, since it seems to be sort of a take-off on an alpine hat. But don't you love that velour????

It sure is soft. Too bad this hat won't fit me. I'm gonna be putting it up for auction. I'm sure I'll get at least what I paid for it.

Sue - that's one gorgeous Homburg you've got there! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I still need to fetch myself a nice Homburg. My two attempts at homburging were grand failures (wrong sizes given by the seller, crowns to low, blah...).

Never mind. That's a real beauty!

Yes it is Biltmore's take on a Alpine. I think they still have this model but not with the buckel. I am thinking 60s maybe 70s. I have a couple of Biltmore made Alpens.

Not new, but back! Whippet

My Whippet's back from Peters Bros with a new sweat and ribbon!

Very hard to get the medium brown color right, but y'all get the idea ...

A very low BIN price enticed me to go for this:

I'm curious what age Dinerman, rlk would put on this. I was guessing '40s based on the tag, but it could be a little older.

This one might work well with a bash like Douglas' old pencil-curl western:
