Scotty, Thank you!Wow, just wow. Could be the finest homburg I've ever seen. Now I need to play with the creases in mine.
Yes....and I have two of them!!! The other is a Stratton (yes the uniform hat people) Long hair in brown!!!! I think It is posted somewhere here.......Stratton used to make all kinds of hats years ago.....A long hair homburg; now there's something that's on my wish list! Super cool.
I wish you had picked it up. Any idea on the age?This was to compensate for not picking up a €20 black long fur felt, sharkgill Dermotta I saw in Episode in Paris but which was of course gone 1 hour later when I came to my senses...
Happy Friday!
I've always liked that teal game bird! If it fit me I would give an arm & a leg in a trade with you, Matt!Happy Friday, all.
Based on the $12.50 price point, this is a 1944 or thereafter Dobbs Game Bird (Mr. Bowers helped me with that tidbit).
It's got a nifty little zigzag double stitching treatment on the brim that is reminiscent of the Borsalino that Bill showed us last week.
Enjoy the day.
Yeah that one made me a little weak in the kneesThis was the date stamped 1934 hat which I put up in the classifieds and fortunately went to a fellow Lounger. I actually felt a little sad when I boxed it up as it gave off a good vibe. It was just a little too big for comfort.

Thanks Stefan! I will!Enjoy the sunshine, John. I haven't replaced that Panizza yet.
Thanks Cougar! It's a light brown with grey undertones but has some nice highlights in the sun.Great hat I really like the color. It looks gray with a hint of green.

Greetings again:You know you have a problem when you have more derbies than most people have hats and you forget about the difference between derby and bowler and call them all stiff hats and focus instead on the savory variations in crown height and crown shape and brim flange and bow swoop and you have to seek intervention from friends and family to keep from buying them all.
Thanks Jack.I've always liked that teal game bird! If it fit me I would give an arm & a leg in a trade with you, Matt!
Wow Stefan, such a lovely shade of blue. Has kind of a blue/green on my monitor. Love it.Two hats from Italy came in yesterday. Daniele outdid himself this time. Had to try on the blue coloured borsalino that was on offer here in the classifieds first. Because no one jumped, I did. Glad I did; it is indeed a gem of a hat. Rodolfo (Chamuco) wore a petrol coloured Weis this week and this is a colour that comes close to that one I think. After try-out I narrowed the pinch a bit.

Wow, that's a lot of hats. In that room I would feel like a kid in a candy store!You know you have a problem when you have more derbies than most people have hats and you forget about the difference between derby and bowler and call them all stiff hats and focus instead on the savory variations in crown height and crown shape and brim flange and bow swoop and you have to seek intervention from friends and family to keep from buying them all.
Very nice Habig, Steve. I'm quite fond of the combination brown felt and black (wide) ribbon. The Ventilo system seems unique too, but probably too labour intensive to be a success.P. & C. Habig Vienna "Camber" with Ventilo probably early to mid 1950s. This hat was made for the American market. Also unique because it was a Dress style.
Ventilo Felt Vents (I haven't been able to find the Austrian Patent)
