Eichenberger ca. 1930s wool felt Homburg.

Seems to have developed its own mule kick. The wide ribbon and basting stitch are the icing on the cake for me.

So grateful to Stefan for throwing this one into the box of hats I bought from him recently.

Here's a link to Stefan's original post about this one with specs and more photos.

Loving that homburg, Steve. Very classic.

Joe, Thanks! Your Champ "De Luxe" has great form and I really like the band color in contrast to the felt color. Champ made some sharp looking hats.

That’s how to follow another stunner from Alan. Two beautiful hats with strikngly cool colour combos!

Thanks guys

I really like this one on you Simeon. Especially with the new beard.

Thanks Joe!

Oberbayerische Hutfabrik gmbH. Miesbach "Edelweiss-Hut" "Chamois" possibly mid to later 1950s. The Chamois Felt is of very high quality. Found this NOS Chamois back in 2020.

Beautiful hat!

Not sure why, but “Oberbayern” was always my favorite geo-political name in German. It’s just so much fun to say! “Edelweiss Hat” is of course very appropriate for that region.

Thanks for showing!

This evening is a Mayser homburg from Randy.

I discovered that you can toggle the portrait mode on and off your photos-in case you hadn’t seen that feature. Just tap the button that says Portrait.

Perhaps my favorite of your hats.

David

Thanks for that. I hadn’t realised you could turn it off after the event. The way it’s cut off the edges of my hat with such a sharp blur just looks weird.

Thanks for the hat compliment. Along with the Borsalino I got from Stefan, it’s probably my favourite, too. Oh, and the Homburg from Brent isn’t far behind. My top three all from Lounge members. (The Stetson came from the rarely seen @Lexybeast)

What a luxurious looking hat. Felt looks amazing... fabulous ribbon treatment. And neat grey sweat.

Joe, Thanks! Doesn't look like it was ever worn. Lucky for me.

Nathan, Thank you! Miesbach was a center for Velour and other specialty finishes. I actually recently received an old Velour from Miesbach that is precursor of Oberbayerische Hutfabrik Miesbach. I haven't gotten around to taking photos of it.

Anton / Ernst Kohlndorfer were the most famous Miesbach company. Here is an old Ernst Kohlndorfer "Erko" Real Velour.

A sharp dressed man again today, Gary.

Coming to the end of an 80 hour work week. Feeling frazzled, so, with the kids not at school today, went for a hat that would make me feel a little better. The Stetson Custom V.
Today’s photos display some severe limitations of the iPhone portrait mode.

Very cool! Glad that one found a good home, Don.

Love that Mac Twenty, Jonathan!
An awesome caliber!

The strangeness of your cold winters probably beats the strangling wet heat of our summers!

As a Yooper I don't mind the cold winters, in fact, I welcome them. Wish we had more cold and snow. It's good for you, builds character.

Here we are a week later and the snow is all but gone already after having inches of rain this week. (It's actually raining again right now after the weather forecasters screwed the pooch. This latest wave was supposed to miss us to the southeast.) Middle of meteorological winter but you'd swear it was spring.

So to your point, yes, I'd much rather have cold winter over strangling, wet heat.

 

[DonR]

Very cool! Glad that one found a good home, Don.

It was a pleasure to wear. Got a few compliments on it this evening.

Wolfbrae to start a two hat day:

Later donned a skinny ribbon Royal Stetson to share a pint with Cal and Jack Frost as well as grab a growler of Hawt Chocolate Stout to go:

Whatever is ailing you, prayers and positive thoughts enroute for a quick and complete recovery.

Good looking hat AND coat. May I ask what the crown height on that one is?

That ribbon treatment is absolutely amazing!
