Indeed we do, Panos.

Despite the mistake, looks like you've found an interesting one.

Great find! It's an early VEB Vereinigte Hutwerke Guben (DDR). Can you post it in the German and Austrian thread when you have a chance?

Thanks! I also thought it was a cool find (for Norwegian standards) so I was more prone to take the risk despite the moth damage and size uncertainty. I will post it there too soon

Thanks! I like finding early DDR Soft Felts Hats.

I have been tempted to try a homburg for a while. But, my wife has always expressed that she doesn't care for the way a homburg looks on me. Well to quote John Wayne as Hondo Lane, "A man oughta do what he thinks is best." So in the next week or so I'm picking up a couple of Knox Superfine homburgs locally. Thought I'd give them a try a few times and if I don't like them I'll pass them on. Hopefully they will have found a new home. I have put a self imposed limit of 52 felts on myself. So either way I will have to lose two felts in the next few months. Here are seller's pictures.

Two super looking Knox Homburgs, Bill.

You'll have no trouble finding them a good home should you not be satisfied with how you look in them.

That's a very fine looking catch, Dave. Looks in mint condition. Congrats

That Knox Superfine looks the business, Bill. Nice buy. Looking forward to seeing you wearing it.

Now, let's see it on.

I’m not sure how you could forget such a hat! Surprisingly, I like it better with the diamond crease. I think it looks better with the side dents that gives that hat some structure and a more casual vibe.

Very nice, Doug. You could mix them up: center dent with side pinches (it's what I'd do).

I’m with Stefan on this. At least with the brown one i have that looks halfway decent on me. A center dent then a front pinch like your last pic Doug and the center dent kinda morphs to a modified diamond. Least mine did. Lol
