That was probably right at the tail end. I can see the binding stitching is offline a bit.
mayserwegener: your collection of homburgs is amazing. I've hardly ever seen a homburg in Britain any other colour than black. Possibly because the homburg is only one social class step down from a top hat and therefore supposed to look "official". I too would really love to know where to get some of the other colours especially burgundy or beige but you just don't see em in the UK. I'm on ebay often looking.
My personal Homburg Na... Hooverville.
Grey Wormser raw edge, needs new sweatband
Tan Stetson 1970s 3X Eddie Bauer teardrop western homburg
Brown Stetson St. Regis, some stains on front of ribbon
Biltmore Imperial: moth riddled, smells like smoke, too small, but I've kept it because I eventually want to find someone who can recreate that warm grey-green felt color.
The first homburg I saw that made me want to obtain one was this, from Miracle on 34th Street. I remember it having some taper on the sides, but I'm still not sure if you guys are referring to a taper as seen by profile or front view, or both.
It's still one of my favorites and I have no idea what it is: dimensions, make, etc. Anyone know the specs on that hat?
I guess it's personal taste but I am not in the straight side to side only crowd which is the majority on this board. Tall crowns are fine but so is a bit of taper. A good example is this P. & C. Habig Homburg of mine.
This gray Mayser of mine has a 2 inch brim not counting the curl. It's a size 59cm and from the early 1960s.
Josh & Alan, Thanks!
