Dobbs has different colors of velour Homburgs on ebay. I want the chocolate but they do not have it in 7.5 and it is out of production. I do not care for the moss color.

Being of recent manufacturer, those Dobbs hats are not going to compare to vintage gems, but if you like the looks and proportions they should give you many years of service. I wouldn’t pay anywhere near MSRP, but that’s just me. Hopefully you can find a great deal. If I see one in my size I might be tempted too.

I only have room for one more hat. I am out of storage space. I think if I get a dark brown homburg I will be in good shape.

Disclaimer: Heresy on this thread. Having a 40´s borsalino Homburg and a Lord´s hat made by my favourite hatter. I see me wearing more often the Lord´s hat or a derby that i have than the Homburg. I didnt say that i dont wear the homburg. Only that the Lord´s hat is more of my tate. Now to stone to me

I’ve been searching for the right chocolate brown homburg for a long time.
As far as “only room for one more hat”...no one here is going to believe that.

No heresy, just a touch of blasphemy so you should be alright after a night in the rack.
For me, a lords hat is easier to wear casually whereas a homburg requires being a bit more dressed up (just my personal preferences).

Lol. I live in a small log cabin and really do not have any more room unless I start jettisoning some of my wool hats. I like them for certain weather conditions.
Keep searching for that elusive chocolate brown homburg.

I don't know if this is considered Chocolate Brown?

Lords hats are great. The lack of a brim binding gives them a very clean look.Disclaimer: Heresy on this thread. Having a 40´s borsalino Homburg and a Lord´s hat made by my favourite hatter.

Good to see it again, Mike. Is that brim done with an overwelt? Never noticed that before.
Depends on the chocolate
It's brown and has a homburg shape, but if I was looking for one more hat to add to the collection, I would take the time to search for a good vintage one (granted: it may take a while). Different league altogether.

Mike did an overwelt with stitching that shows on the outside of the curl.

I’d second that.

It looks like Velour. The felt is most likely Tonak maybe the entire hat. I would need to see a closer photo and a photo of the liner / sweatband.

I also agree with Steur and Deadly that if you only have room for one more hat then wait for one of those elusive velour vintage beauties: however, if you live in a colder climate and need a “serviceable” chocolate colored homburg then the Dobbs would work. Good luck I know it’s a had decision.

The Dobbs Chocolate homburg is out of production and unavailable in my size, 7.5.
Yes Brett it is advertised as velour.
I am not in a hurry. There is always the option of going to Luisa or perhaps a Stetson Cordova.
