Very nice pairing there.

Very nice indeed. The Frank H. Lee Company made nice hats (Lee and Disney to name but two).
It's hard to judge, but from the price and the oil skin tip I'd say late 40's, maybe early 50's. It is just a guess though!
Very nice Lee Black Label Homburg. I would agree with billyspew on the 40's to 50's date estimate based upon sweat and liner details. The 'oil-skin tip' he referred to, also known as 'onion-skin', is the translucent cellophane type material protecting the liner tip from soiling, commonly found on many hats from the era.
Consider adding your hat photos to The Lee Lounge for additional reference.

Great trio, rlk. I love the look of that velour on you.
Beautiful hat delectans!
the hat was from Baron's, they gave me the run around for about a year of when my hat would be complete. I wont be buying one there any time soon. But what they did make me was perfect to sit next to that painting.
I be looking for something like this -Very Nice!!!!

Part of a recent haul from a local vintage clothing shop. Probably German, looks 30's-ish, to me at least. A fair bit of mothing, but still quite wearable - for the right person! At 55cm, it's a bit too small for me, alas.....
More details in German and Austrian hats thread.
