Fabio, the Ramenzoni hombur is a fine hat despite the name
I have a part of the family in San Paolo. They are the descendents of a sister of my maternal grandfather.
They came, in the middle of the seventies, to see the birthplace of their mother

Vintage Ramenzoni Carteira homburg... age unknown... I suspect, 1940s or 1950's

Very nice find, Fabio. Excellent shape and even shows a little reverse taper. I hope the sweatband holds out.

Tks. I loved the shape of this one. I hope it too, it's quite beaten, the old leather.

I’m in a bit of a hurry to get to work, but this hat couldn’t wait. It wasn’t so much dusty as it had a layer of topsoil. It cleaned up well, but in bright sun I can still see dust coming off when I brush it.

5 1/2” open crown, 2 7/8 wide brim, 1 3/4” wide black ribbon, 2” wide sweatband. And of course it has the Cavanagh (Mode) edge that I love. The sweat is soft and supple and the entire hat is in great shape. The onion skin liner protector is intact and isn’t excessively cloudy. Here you go:

At first, the measurements I was taking just didn’t seem possible. I kept remeasuring to make sure. The tape said one thing, but my eye said something else. Here’s the reason:

I believe we used to refer to a hat like that as a Beast.

Nice tape measures.

Nice, large vintage, Brent. Congrats.

Nice tape measures.

I like “Beast.” It fits. I don’t recall where that tape measure came from, but it’s hard to believe the manufacturer could screw up the calibration that much!

Everything is bigger in Texas! I'm really a 5/8 like you, but using the other ruler, I get to buy 1/8th hats!

Thanks, Joe. In these larger sizes they’re far and few between.

Tell me about it.

10ths of an inch and 100ths of a foot ... hmmm. Also they threw a time zone in there. Toss that one out and enjoy that fantastic hat!

Good eye Bob... so clearly somebody’s attempt to make our silly system work as well as the metric system... but missing the point as to why we still use ours.

it's called an engineer's tape....great tool for a surveyor

Brown Knox Flying Cloud
4 3/4 crown as bashed
2 in black grosgrain ribbon
1 3/4 underwelt brim

This medium brown Knox Flying Cloud I thought would be a great companion piece to the grey Knox Flying Cloud I picked up about a year ago.... which I really love.. The grey one is one with a “Custom Edge” (Cavanagh) and great feel to the felt. This one I think may be a slightly later issue as it has an underwelt brim and glued in liner typical of maybe a very late 60s early 70s release. It does however have the VERY cool flying cloud liner as does the grey one.. though less of a golden look to it. They both have 1 3/4 brims and this one has a slightly taller crown at 4 3/4... though I think it is just how they are bashed... open is probably about the same. This hat along with a Charcoal grey Charles Knox hatter I received... both originally sold at Jacob Reed’s Sons in Philadelphia from a retail price of $30 marked down to $15. A very cool little hat
